Equal time means nothing. Division is created on cultural and other issue to distract from actual problems we face and who created it. Democrats and republicans represent the same interest. Everything else is just a distraction.
In this war, the biggest battle was the battle for Kyiv. Kyiv was almost surrounded and the Russians were already destroying our warehouses with food in the hope of breaking the resistance. Tragedy was averted only thanks to general armament. At that time, the front line was everywhere, including on the streets of Kyiv, and reporters could easily get access there. Have you been to Ukraine. Do you really think that the inscription "Press" matters to Russians? Why should I trust the "Independent" journalist more than the official one? Where does the Independent Journalist get its funding from? Perhaps from the Kremlin?

This came while I was typing the previous post. Please post about the thread topic for a change.
If you have concerns about moderation, this is not where you should be raising them.
War photography is a very small subset of photo-journalism. It requires a very particular set of skills and approaches. I'm not sure that it makes sense to extrapolate from the situation there when one considers the general state of photo-journalism.
Video has largely supplanted still photography (and movie work) when it comes to merely sharing information about current events.
Most photo-journalism in the past was straightforward reportage. Modern photojournalists often need to be more essayists than reporters.
Nobody is going to let you go to the front line.
100% agree.This thread is on the verge of being closed - get back to photography, or take it elsewhere please.
You can go to the front line if you want. Just don't tell the authorities.

A picture is worth 1000 words.
A lot of time a picture can have a different and stronger affect than a video.
Especially if you want to create a narrative one single frame can support that nerative.
I was in Ukraine with sky news for 4 months and nobody let us go anywhere close to the front line.
I honestly have not seen front line coverage like in other wars.
The loss of Equal Time on cable has led to a weaponization of News which turned into a fake new industry on cable and the highly partizan politics of today. A great leap backward for all.
Oh yeah! I read here about Russians with Viagra))) It's not funny, it's stupid. What viagra? When the Russians entered Kyiv they didn't even have food.Getting back to the topic, here's a link to articles from and about war photojournalists.

Indeed.
With all due respect to the difficult position of some of our members in this conflict, please keep Photrio a war-free zone
I can always show some of my old works about Ukraine, although there are very few of them, or shoot a new one in Kyiv right now. I want to see some of your workBack to photography.

I am not a Western Ukrainian, I am an Eastern Ukrainian. I am from the city of Yenakiyevo, this is the birthplace of Yanukovych. In the photo of Bucha a year ago. Ukrainians saw it like this after the aggressor fled. If you have a real desire it is very easy to organize a meeting with people who have gone through Russian occupation. But these people must trust the journalist. Otherwise, they will not be as tolerant as I am and can become very aggressive. They need to be understood, they have gone through Hell.I am not a photographer. Photography is my meditation and hobby.
OK! Without pretensions to reporting, I invite everyone to a creative walk near my house. Just for a smoke break with a camera. I take a small Pentax WG-2 and try to shoot without attracting attention or annoying people. The first thing we see when we leave the yard are anti-tank hedgehogs. There are not many of them left, they are kept in case of a new attack.

We go further and see the destroyed houses. A rocket flew here a year ago. People died. I heard and saw it at that moment I was going to the store for bread

This is the same store. A year ago, there were no cars here, people were only armed, and the store sold only bread that was baked here. Now it is a full-fledged supermarket. And even the charging station works
