AtL 229 – Consent

Guests: Rosa Panggabean

Topics:

1. Consent in Photojournalism
   1. Do we worry about consent when doing our work? If so, how much do you focus on consent when you’re shooting? Do you strictly adhere and ensure you don’t shoot a person at all if they don’t consent, or do just try to avoid shooting them? Will you photograph someone who doesn’t consent? Where do you draw the line with regard to consent?
2. Photojournalists Attacked
   1. There have been hundreds of attacks on visual journalists over the past few weeks. How do we cope with this kind of treatment of our peers? Is there something we can do to help ensure the rights of visual journalists are protected? Have we every been attacked for our jobs?
3. How is Black Lives Matters Being Viewed Overseas?
   1. We’re lucky this week to have two visual journalists who are based in overseas locations. How have the George Floyd protests been perceived overseas and in your country? Has it sparked any protests in your area, or do people generally not care? What are some of the main topics you are covering where you are?
