I have started to work on my essay now even though i have had the sheet for about a week and a bit now. I have decided to work on the thesis statement :
"With Reference to a particular event and its representation through photographs discuss the changing role of the photojournalist in light of 24-hour news, the internet and the digital age."
I have started to look at research from books that talk about the 'digital age' and how mobile phones are becoming more important in todays society. The books i am currently studying are
Steve Edwards - Photography: A very short introducton
Liz Wells - Photography: A Critical Introduction (Third Edition)
John Stuart Katz, Jay Ruby, Larry Gross - Image Ethics in the Digital Age.
I have only just started looking through the books and finding a fair few things out from each book. I plan on photocopying the pages and highlighting and making notes on what i think. I also need to find a decent news article to focus on. I was thinking about either the Gaza War, Australian Bush Fires or more recent news. More blogs to come though !!
