Definition of Objectivity:

Nilufer Demir

“I almost felt paralyzed when I saw the child's corpse. Later, I learned that he was just three years old. At the same time, as a photographer I have a task that does not allow time for second-guessing, for freezing. So, I took the pictures.”

The formal recognition of objectivity as a fundamental principle goes

back to the formulation of two major statements about ethics- the 1923 code of the American Society of News Editors (ASNE) and the 1926 code of Sigma Delta Chi, forerunner of the Society of Professional Journalists.

Both documents enshrined objectivity as a canon of journalism and drew the distinctions that define traditional objectivity. - Ward

Definition of photojournalism:

‘‘one of the great confusions in journalism’’ (Kovach and

Rosentiel, 2001, p. 72)

"If the picture makes Europe change its attitudes towards refugees, then it was right to publish it."
