Photojournalism is a serious job which has a lot of rules to be follow as all the jobs do, as professional ethics. Every single job has its professional ethics which people show their "characteristics as workers when they use ethics. First of all, what is the job of a photojournalist and what is ethic? Based on jobdescriptionandresumeexamples.com, "Photojournalists capture images of events, incidents or people to create a press story. Their job description entails editing and preparing pictures taken in real life situations to obtain visual materials used to support news stories." They basically take pictures of real life and post on magazines, newspaper or other types of media. Based on Lexico.com, "Ethic is A set of moral principles, especially ones relating to or affirming a specified group, field, or form of conduct." Basically it is saying that there is a group of moral principles which is established for the group which you live, work or etc...
Nowadays everyone can see what is happening around the world in only one click. A million of photos are posted everyday for different websites or social medias. Because of that the job of a photojournalist became harder and more judged. There are different ways to see a picture and with that the observations and criticism come to show what they want to say about it. Photojournalists try to do their jobs and get the best pictures. The only problem about this is what they do to get this pictures?
I was looking this picture and thinking about how the photojournalist got this. For who do not know, this picture was taken by Kevin Carter and won the Pulitzer Prize, the world's largest consecration of journalism. On this picture we could see a starving kid which does not have any help or person to help her around, only the photographer and a vulture behind her. The photographer instead help that kid he preferred to take a picture and win that award. The thing is how worthy was that picture, he did what he could to win that award but he did not do the minimum to help that kid. The right thing would be save that kid and finish that opportunity she had to die not take a picture and make that kid be his "biggest award".
This other picture was taken in Haiti after a earthquake in 2011. The biggest mistake about this picture is that there is no respect about the girl. She is probably dead, there is no one calling the ambulance or asking for help, they just look at her and take pictures for their job. I know it is their job but my question comes up, what it takes to be the best, number one in your job, do you see limits to get what you want? It is sad but this is the truth.

This is my ethical map and I put all the words that I know I use and I will use for the rest of my life. I believe God comes first in anything. Family is the top of this scale. The other words are very important as well, but one that I think is the most important is respect. Nothing in this life can be earned without respect. If you earn something without respect and you did not win anything, you can check what you have done to get here because it looks not right. Respect anyone, does not matter if that person is white, black, short, tall, fat, skinny, just respect and the rest will come.
