Since the creation of news sites, photo feature has always been kept out of these "new media" that were supposedly revolutionize a model out of breath. Yet everyone knows that the image is a mainspring of journalism and information. On one condition, it is not stolen, mutilated, manipulated and directed by legends or texts dishonest. In the eyes of supporters of the new media, photojournalism has all the defects. It is a job field and the players in this profession seek to monitor the use made of their work (worst get paid fairly for the work). The multimedia journalists, when they leave their desks themselves, after hanging up the phone, but rather to go home and do their mutt piss. The plot? Do not know ... No time. The survey? ... A format that does not exist. It peddles bullshit and publishes it without verifying? Maybe! But it is in the reagent and the info we are done! So shut up!
Details on these sites, hot on the news, there's always the AFP and Reuters. For all comers and iconos trainees, there is Google image, the most sophisticated system of image theft on the Internet with options based on criteria of quality and file size. Of course, there's also Flickr and its procession of idealists who are deficient for the free movement of "works" and their unfathomable stupidity at the same time. We see that news sites choose priority "authors" foreigners, even for the French subjects. They are docile and more, they say thank you! So we almost weep I forgot ... it's beautiful. All these sites are very smart " The Big Picture," the site of the Boston Globe and talk once a year from the death of photojournalism.
At Rue 89, has even created a "" PAGE " to group all the images appeared on the Flickr site, as a club of assholes. Most often, these photos are only distantly related or completely shifted to the topic. Some photos are lousy, some are almost worthy of interest. All have a great quality for the broadcaster, they are for free. It still does not squander public money used to promote information anyway? Information is the text! You have not yet understood this little gem? Everything else is incidental and contemptible. And even if this information is supported by advertising.
On the info page of Orange, another method is applied. It's the same photo that shows all items. Bank robbery, riots in the suburbs, events? Always the same cop car on the front by AFP. Fire ambush in the "neighborhood, burning cars Christmas? Same old fire engine ... and it lasts for years. Pitiful.
Many sites require you to their readers to send photos by email for publication as a slideshow. It's a mania. The G20, the demonstrations and the weather (especially snow), it is their hobby. The result is totally invalid, but it can retain a segment of visitors stroking their little frustrated ego. It also allows police to stop from time to time people who present themselves as journalists for "usurpation of quality." What is not very serious. At the point where we are.
