How does photo journalism effect the way that an event is viewed by the public?
Photo journalism can capture all the aspects of the scene, it can show the positives and the negatives. When you view an image, it may appear differently to to you then it would to the person who was at the scene taking the photo. Photo journalism can really effect the way the people view image,as some people may have a different understanding than others.
Reflect on how photos directly affected your personal understanding of Vietnam?
It showed all the grueling aspects of the Vietnam War and really showed me realistic and visual views of what the soldiers and residents of the towns that were effected had to go through while the war was occurring. It showed Vietnamese children that had lost their parents because of the war which was very sad to see. The images also showed all the young soldiers that were fighting, this refers to the song ' I was only 19' which shows that men,as young as 19 were sent over to fight for their country.
