A common code of photojournalism is to not intervene with the situation; their goal is to change the world using words/pictures/videos and not actions, is this immoral?, I think there is a right and wrong answer to that, we are in fact, HUMANS, to hell with codes, if you cannot help because you can’t then it’s Ok, but if you can, but won’t because of some codes you have to obey, then I think it is wrong. The most famous Pulitzer photo was taken by Kevin Carter; it’s a picture of a starving Sudanese child, He took the photo and left the scene. No one knows what happened to the child. Kevin Carter commits suicide in 1994, Portions of Carter's suicide note reads:

"I am depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners”

- Kevin Carter

Nevertheless, I always appreciate their work and respect what they do to bring us news/pics/videos of what’s happening in some of the scariest places in the world. But all in all, sometimes, the cartoon below shows us the ugly but necessary side of photojournalism.
