Topic 1:
Technology/Innovation
- Based on my reading in the textbook, the most important technological change or innovation in the history of photojournalism was the advent of film speeds that were fast enough to allow pictures to be taken instantly. Earlier pictures required advance preparation and people had to hold very still while the shutter was open on the camera, or else the picture would be blurred.
- Nick Ut stands out in the history of photojournalism because he helped to bring an end to the conflict in Vietnam when this photograph was published in American outlets such as the New York Times and Life magazine, showing a 9-year-old Napalm-burned Vietnamese girl running from her village after it was bombed. His photos showed the American public the reality of the atrocities that were occurring in Vietnam, (in their name). When the people saw just how bad things really were, they were able to end the war.
