biculturalist:

One thing I immediately find interesting is the lack of photojournalism detailing the damage of the Paris attacks- the damaged stadium, the bodies of the victims, the restaurant, the ensued chaos, the tears, the emotions. Instead we mostly witnessed landmarks around the world lighting up as the colors of the French flag, the blackout of Paris, and the marches for solidarity. Contrast this to the endless portfolios dedicated to capturing the plight of Syrian refugees and the destruction of terrorist attacks elsewhere. Selective photojournalism exposes who is respected in times of horror and who is capitalized upon.
