Photojournalism and Bias

I feel the same emotion as the main subject from the picture - grieving for our loss. This picture gives us a sense of mourning the loss of someone who they deeply close as a person they appreciate. This picture relates to how all of us experience losing our peers, who are close to us in deep personal connection. When I look back at the photo, I start feeling the same emotions as a few people who express their depressive emotions. In Donald Weder's article, he explains the way photographers use photos to control the storytelling of the event, whether audience were invested or not.

The picture does not resemble the truth of photojournalism, because the news source is attempting to create a false narrative. Joseph's picture of the fake news makes me think of how they falsely portray vaccination as a problem, even though scientists manage to find a cure. In Professor Nordell part 2 video, he mentions how publication has biased on photojournalist for their photos taken; where photographers sing camera in different composition to show the truth behind the imagery.
