Comparing the Ethics of Citizen Photojournalists and Professional Photojournalists: A Coorientational Study

Pages 19-37 | Received 11 Sep 2013, Accepted 31 Oct 2013, Published online: 16 Jan 2014
 

Abstract

In the digital news environment, amateur images—citizen photojournalism—appear next to professional photojournalists' photos, contributing to a probable tension and sense of professional threat among professional photojournalists. Using the coorientation approach, this study explores the ethical values of citizen photojournalists and professional photojournalists, the extent to which they agree about these values, how accurate they are in assessing each others' values, and how congruent they perceive they are with each other.
