Social reportage plays neither with factors of identification, once they focus on the portraying of error, misery or despair, neither in the illustration of something that people might be willing to re-enact themselves. The exposure to this visual grammar is commonly understood as the truth that one must be confronted with in order to be a good citizen, but frequently nobody knows exactly how to act upon it. This leads to a great amount of guilt that finds mainly two outputs: the acritical tolerance regarding this kind of imagery and the vulnerability towards donation-based action (...) What is the role of photojournalism in the visual identity of ethics?
