Candace Coleman-Youtube Response

I agree with the Chicago Tribune article. From my understanding, the author would like for photojournalists to concentrate less on their colleagues and more on the mass when composing a story. Everyday people do not notice the work put into editing pieces and therefore do not appreciate the hours spent on perfecting camera angles and transitions. Instead, they view pieces for content. The quicker the journalists can relay the message, the more successful they are. We are living in a fast-pace society, and everything must be easily accessible, understandable and shareable. Photojournalists must create a relationship with the audience that won't make them think much on a subject, and trust that what the journalist is saying is necessary.

I found this article useful in reminding me that the profession of journalism is a service to the mass. In order to be successful in the field, one must put the interests of the audience first. That's how I see it at least.
