Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is today unveiling its new video campaign, \u201cWar reporters.\u201d Its release coincides with the publication of RSF\u2019s 50th book in the \u201c100 photos for press freedom\u201d series \u2013 this one dedicated to the work of Robert Capa.<\/p>\n
Created by the advertising agency BETC, this video highlights the urgency of supporting photoreporters, without whom we would never know the realities of war.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s support those who risk their lives every day to keep us informed and provide us with independent images that are very different from the official ones served up by governments.<\/p>\n
As the photoreporter James Nachtwey said:\u00a0\u201cI have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
There are the official images. And there is the reality. Photoreporters are heroes. They are men and women who put their life on the line every day.<\/p>\n
The craft has lost 40 percent of its personnel in the past 15 years. Supporting them is really urgent. Thanks to them, newspapers manage to publish reportage photos of great quality. New festivals enable photoreporters to continue working independently and to experience the public\u2019s interest, which proves that the demand is there.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s support photoreporters, so that they are able to work in way that provides a vision of the world that is nuanced, human and complex, one that makes a debate possible.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s support those who show us what the official images don\u2019t show.<\/p>\n
