Reporting Blackout from New Orleans?
So now FEMA wants to ban news photographers from rescue scenes in New Orleans (tip o' the mouse to Hart's Big Picture).
The London police probably didn't want citizen journalists snapping pics of the mayhem, the injured, or the dead from the bombings, either.
So what should journalists do? Defy the ban and dive in (sorry) to the most important news story yet ongoing, despite the toxic waste and danger?
And what about citizen journalists? Is this sort of danger the dividing line between professionals paid to get the photos and facts, and citizens 'playing reporter'?
