      Apparently we struck a really raw nerve today in the photojournalism community when we published a piece about free photo sites and tools for newsrooms that are strapped for resources. (Thread)

      So let’s talk about this. We want to acknowledge your anger and your concerns. We’ve worked with you. We’ve seen you have to juggle 12 assignments in a day. We’ve seen your colleagues get laid off. We’ve seen space shrink for displaying your work.

      We understand the concerns about the integrity of journalism and ethics. And we addressed those in this piece as it related to copyright issues. To the degree that we need more conversation about these sites and ways to present visual journalism online, we’d love to explore that.

          Don’t take the story down. It’s an important thread that needs addressing. This is the way-way-back-machine when visuals were treated as an afterthought (as admitted in the posted article) and the visuals team was treated as a service dept.

          My head exploded when I read this article. While I get its intended premise to save the reporter time and dress up the presumably well-written words, it was far too casually written. The few sentences about ethics? C’mon!! As a career picture editor, you’re killing me!

          Most reporters I work with respect the visual voice, in fact, they work in tandem with visuals. But with few visual advocates in our newsrooms, the real question is how do we do right by our viewers and readers? Stock images? I think not. @poynter you can do better.

          @Poynter @thekalish @NPPA How about we work together on answering the real questions? How do we do right by readers without visual advocates in the work place? And if there are photo editors and photographers, how are they being utilized? As editors or service a department?

          As educators to journalists, you can do better than this. Your headline promises advice on "finding the right image for your story." Photojournalism is information that adds to the story. Finding stock "art" is a failure to our audience. An unrelated photo is not the right image.

          It's disappointing and alarming that there's no longer a visual advocate anywhere near the top of your masthead. ESPECIALLY given the industry's broad/swift pivot to video, we can all use thoughtful guidance on how to adapt/innovate while maintaining high standards.

          No. 1 on the @nytimes' 2020 report? Visuals. And the need to use them responsibly, under strong leadership, with visual journalists helping lead stories (concept of visuals as a service department is demeaning, outdated and counterproductive).https://www.nytimes.com/projects/2020-report/ …

          Shame on you. Visuals are not there just to get people to click on a story. Photojournalism is journalism, it is as important as the words and design and editing. We are a team, and every part of that team needs to be equally valued to serve our communities well.

          I think most of us can empathize with the context of the piece but the underlying tone/mindset I think is the issue--Value is given only to text. If the platforms "demand visuals," photographers and their work shouldn't be portrayed as something to tack on as cheaply as possible.

          When majority of the industry are freelancers & photographers rely licensing of their work to earn a living. Isn't it about paid content? Shouldn't creators/outlets of original content compensated? isnt what paywall is about? What planet are you on? Shameful.

          Let’s talk about why text is always treated as more valuable than photos. Why do we need free photos to illustrate text? Maybe strapped outlets can run photo stories and have computer-generated text with it. Doesn’t that sound stupid? Yet photos are treated as more disposable.

          Perhaps photos are treated as disposable because there's a push to always have a photo on a story, no matter the relevance? I blame Facebook and Twitter's social cards.

          This is pretty basic. Not once in the story does either writer advocate hiring a photojournalist to illustrate a story. Not once. I don't want this story taken down - it's important that it stays intact. The writers didn't write it for free...nor should they.

          Addressing the "integrity of journalism and ethics" by talking about copyright misses the point. You simply cannot advocate free content as a solution to overworked newsrooms. Copyright is a legal mechanism to protect IP holders, not a means to fairly pay photographers.
