5. Photo-journalism

In this week we read and talked about photo-journalism.
The main question which we discussed about was this:

"Why that photographers prefer to take a picture rather than helping to this poor people?"

I think this is very shallow logic. Because maybe they are not helping for only one moment, but then when they took this photographs, millions of people thinking about this issues thanks to this photographs. Furthermore, this photographers are already taking high risks for taking that photos. So they are already trying to help to this people. And taking photographs takes really little time. I am sure that they are trying to help after taking photographes , if they are not in this "helping idea" they won't go to the most dangerous places for taking only just one photo.
