Bending the Frame by Fred Ritchin
The older paradigm for photojournalists was to simply record events, with the hope and frequently the expectation that people and their governments would be moved to respond to the injustices pictured. This title examines the historical and contemporary uses of photography and related media to inspire social change.
This volume takes readers through the looking glass and down the rabbit hole into the surrealistic world of photojournalism and its history, uses, effects, and possibly its future--L.L. Scarth"Choice" (12/01/2013)
Does photojournalism matter? By Richin's account, its role has shifted but not shrunk in our media - saturated world.--Jack Crager"American Photo" (11/01/2013)
