When Our Words Collide
"Wanna buy a body?" That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from freelance(自由职业)photographers when I was a photo editor at U. S. News. Like many in the mainstream press, I wanted to separate the world of photographers into " them" , who trade in pictures of bodies or chase celebrities, and ’’us" , the serious news people. But after 16 years in that role, I came to wonder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable.
Working in the reputable world of journalism, I assigned photographers to cover other people ’ s nightmares. I justified invading moments of grief, under the guise(借口)of the reader’ s right to know. I didn’ t ask photographers to trespass(冒犯)or to stalk(跟踪), but I didn’ t have to. 1 worked with pros(同行)who did what others did, talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines to get pictures I was after. And I wasn’ t alone.
In the aftermath of a car crash or some other hideous incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to capture the blood and gore(血腥场面). But you are likely to see local newspaper and television photographers on the scene—and fast.
How can we justify our behavior? Journalists are taught to separate doing the job from worrying about the consequence of publishing what they record. Repeatedly, they are reminded of a news-business dictum(格言): leave your conscience in the office. You get the picture of the footage; the decision whether to print or air it comes later. A victim may lie bleeding, unconscious, or dead;your job is to record the image. You put away your emotions and document the scene.
We act this way partly because we know that the pictures can have important meaning. Photographs can change deplorable(凄惨的)situations by mobilizing public outrage or increase public understanding.
However, disastrous events often bring out the worst in photographers and photo editors. In the first minutes and hours after a disaster occurs, photo agencies buy pictures. Often an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and put it up for bid by major magazines. The most keenly sought "exclusives" command tens of thousands of dollars through bidding contests.
Many people believe that journalists need to change the way they do things, and it’ s our pictures that annoy people the most. Readers may not believe, as we do, that there is a distinction between sober-minded us and sleazy(低级庸俗的)"them". In too many cases, by our choices of images as well as how we get them, we prove our readers right.
News photographers are usually a problem for rescue workers at an accident.
选项
A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Not mentioned
答案
C
解析
文章第三段提到,当人们因为发生汽车碰撞或者其他一些丑陋的事故而受伤或者死亡时,我们很少会看到摄影师们推开正在实施抢救的人而去抓拍这些血腥场面。但是,我们能看到当地报纸和电视台的摄影师很快出现在现场。文中并没有提到在事故现场,新闻摄影师常常会对正在实施抢救的人们造成困扰。故选C。
