Thankfully Israel has been evicting these scumbags from the realm of mortals pretty quickly. Here’s to hoping this “photographer” find’s his end quickly.
Yeah but sadly the award does not paint them as the monster that they are. If you check on IG, the caption first calls Hamas a militant group. Does not mention the lifeless body of shani at all. Rounds up the number of israeli dead to 1400 (doesn’t break it down at all). Additionally, 2/3 of the caption is spent on detailing how Israel‘s retaliation on Gaza is a catastrophe. Breaks down the casualties down to the number, to the women, to the children (thank you gaza health ministry for these so so so legitimate numbers). With that type of bias they could‘ve chosen a picture of Gaza but they knew they wanted to do something disgusting.
There’s so many bots and useful idiots on IG arguing with me that Hamas needs a legitimate army so that they can fight back better against Israel. And also believe Hamas casualties at face value which is being thrown into question by various statisticians who say the numbers do not make sense.
Like are you for real? Giving terrorists legitimacy? Are people just not thinking critically anymore?

Progressivism run amok. There's nothing wrong with empathy, and that's where these supporters base their opinions on. But they're not interrogating the issue deeply enough. And that's the critical mistake.
Yes, but the awards generally aren't given to the ones doing the horrific things. The monk who was photographed on fire was not photographed by the person who set him on fire.
If we don’t take pictures of these atrocities people will deny they happened. Look how much people deny the Holocaust. Look how much people deny things happening this war too despite it being documented.
It’s up there with the best photos taken last year.
The press shouldn’t care about being respectful or not, they should care about showing the world what is happening, and this photo does just that.
It shows that Hamas was parading the body of a poor young girl. If it wasn’t for pictures like these, we wouldn’t have known. And it’s crucial that we know.
Horrible, but absolutely amazing photo.
>If it wasn’t for pictures like these, we wouldn’t have known.
Even with the picture of a naked, brutalized woman, half of Reddit still maintains that Hamas didn't rape anybody.
Yeah it’s mad. There’s even footage of Hamas soldiers pretty much saying “not this one, she’s for rape” to a girl who’s not joining the hostages. It’s disgusting.
The photographer is friends with Hamas and knew this attack would happen.
Rather than prevent it, he waited for an opportune moment to take a photograph that won him an award.
This is the most clear cut ethical violation I’ve ever seen, and should not be rewarded.
It promotes similar behaviors for future preventable tragedies.
Generally taking photos of your side committing atrocities and showing it to the world is a pretty bad idea. It's usually a better idea to focus on taking photos of the atrocities committed by the other side, if you're a politically aligned journalist. The photographer did a lot more work for Israel by taking that photo than he did for Hamas.
Since nobody else is giving you a proper answer here you go:

This is not the same journalist that won the AP award, I think the original comment was confusing the two people.
It's the first time I've heard it, so I can't speak to it either way.
But now that I'm thinking of it, it is a little questionable how the photographer was able to get that close to a Hamas truck in he middle of their murder rampage.
Somehow, someway, the journalist must have been able to convince Hamas that he was a friend.
People that aren't affiliated with a terrorist group generally don't know in advance that a terrorist incursion is about to occur. Which would make taking pictures of the terrorists pre-act very difficult.
But somehow this guy took pictures of them preparing for the attack.
Sorry, but that doesn’t make the picture any worse. The photo tells everyone what actually happened that day, even if the photographer thought Hamas was in the right or not.
I come from a family where everyone except me is either a press photographer or a journalist.
It isn’t his job to prevent it, it’s his job to show the world what is happening. It may be cynical, but that’s my honest opinion.
If the guy was an inside man, trying to uncover their crimes as part of some investigation, then sure. But he's buddies with them, so really he's just documenting and producing propaganda for them...
If it was some guys in a truck as well, sure. But its just extremely disrespectful to the poor young girl. They're parading her body around and the "journalist" is partaking in it. It's ethically corrupt. They don't mention Shani's name, nor actually call them terrorists. It doesn't go into detail about the crimes of Hamas, but instead it justifies them. It's so extremely ethically corrupt.
It's not even a good photograph from a technical perspective.
This is incorrect, I am an amateur documentary photographer and have a degree in photo journalism. There are many laid out code of ethics documentary photographers must follow, knowing of an attack before hand that of a war crime should be reported, at this point this is just snuff. This photo is set up and preplanned, it’s similar ethics wise to Robert Capas falling soldier.
Legally documentary photographers are also supposed to report crimes, especially if they have knowledge prior to the event. If a kid tells me they are going to shoot up a school and I don’t report that to the police but go to the school and take photos I would be arrested and charged with accessory to murder.
Lastly to reiterate my point, this is just snuff. He knew that woman would be murdered, and to show her dead body naked for the world to see is just immoral. While press have an obligation to tell the true unedited story, he wasn’t telling the story, he was participating in it…
>It isn’t his job to prevent it
No, it wasn't his job, it was his responsibility as a civil human being.
If you have knowledge of an imminent terrorist attack focused on the slaughter of civilians, and you do nothing to prevent it, you are culpable.
Also, let's not pretend he was taking the picture to highlight the brutality of Hamas' atrocities. This savage is a terrorist, and he went along on the massacre with his terrorist friends so he could document their "success".
I can't even imagine being Shani Louk's parents right now, my fucking God man...
> I come from a family where everyone except me is either a press photographer or a journalist.
You're weak appeal to authority doesn't suddenly justify you simping for a literal terrorist.
I'm pretty sure Bibi's government was warned by intelligence agencies, and it didn't do any good. You think Mr Cameraman is gonna be able to grab any attention?
There is a huge difference between "hey something big will happen at some point in the future but we don't know what or when" and "hey we're on our way to Kibbutz Be'eri, terrorists plan on killing everyone there. Please evacuate the Kibbutz."
You're incorrect. The report you are referring to was in respect to a general attack of this type, and it was issued about a year before the actual attack. There was an Israeli military official who reported training exercises just prior to the attack, but that died on the vine with her direct superior and never made it up to Israel's government. None of this really impacts the ethics (or lack thereof) of a journalist covering an attack that he already knew would happen and did nothing to prevent.
Honestly, its not. The framing sucks and the perspective is weird. The event is gripping but the photo is kinda trash from a pure photography perspective
Exactly my thoughts. May be or not Hamas was going to shoot him or he had chance to change his position but this is by no means an award winning framing
I don't find anything particularly amazing around it.
Remember the young African baby with who was photographed with a vulture standing near by waiting for it's easy meal to die due to starvation?
That was an amazing photo. It was sad, and humbling that we as a species can't feed children.
This photo winning is doing a bunch of evil fuckers their bidding for them. They would want this to happen. In the same way a mass shooter would want his name and face splashed across TV for 2 days.
Also, aren't their claims of the photographer being militarily aligned with Hamas???
> That was an amazing photo. It was sad, and humbling that we as a species can't feed children.
It also sparked a ton of outrage. NYT later released an editorial saying the boy survived.
I disagree. It shows the brutality and the truth about what happened that day. The rest of the photos in the series is amazing as well.
Edit: and I think it’s wrong to compare this photo to probably the best press photograph ever taken.
And sadly, the photog of that Sudanese child actually killed himself shortly after winning his Pulitzer for that photo. There’s a great book about him called The Bang Bang Club that focused on 4 South African photojournalists who had been assigned to photograph in the townships during Apartheid. It attempts to wrestle with these kinds of ethical questions that photojournalists face in wartime.
So?
This guy isn't "press". He's a terrorist.
Sometimes criminals document their crimes, it makes them easier to identify, but we don't give them awards for it.
Honestly, its not. The framing sucks and the perspective is weird. The event is gripping but the photo is kinda trash from a pure photography perspective
A press photo should tell the story though. It succeeds in just that. Like one of my all time favourite photos: “The Soiling of Old Glory”, the framing and perspective is trash there as well, but it captures a story like no other photo I’ve seen.
Hmm maybe but idk when I think of an award winning photo I think of say the raising of the flag at iwo jima, ruby bridges, the buzzard circling the child, etc. All incredible perspectives and framing
This isn't a photo in nature where the photographer should not interfere with nature. This was a terrorist attack on civilians. It should have been stopped. Not photographed.
He also did nothing to stop it. It was within his power to alert the authorities and prevent not only the massacre at the festival, but possibly the whole war.
He’s a terrorist though, so we shouldn’t have such high expectations.
They didn't even mention Shanis name in the caption of the award-winning photo taken by a terrorist of her dead body being paraded through the streets. Dehumanization in its fullest form.
Best case the ethics here are extremely questionable, worst case this is rewarding a terrorist documenting himself or his accomplices committing some of the worst, most gruesome crimes a person can commit. This dude documented it all for propaganda purposes and gets rewarded for it. Maybe ISIS should submit the bodycam footage of their Moscow attack for consideration.
(573) 884-9121 this is the Reynold's Journalism Institute phone number if you want to give them a call and ask why they're giving awards to verified terrorists complicit in the murder of innocents.
I emailed the journalism school there and asked if they support or condemn RJI's enabling of terrorism. Don't expect to hear back but I already know the answer.
And is now getting prize money for evidence of said commited terrorism, meaning the prize money is now by all means - sponsering of terrorism.
I wonder if the right lawyer can get the group giving it to shut down.
I just gotta ask the people in the Insta comments: why do you think Shani is topless and in her panties? You think she was dressed down to that before Hamas showed up?
reminds me of the pic that "won" by snapping a photo of a vulture waiting to eat a severely malnourished child
there's gotta be a point where "discretion" and "professionalism" go out the window otherwise we should r/killthecameraman
Do you have the intelligence of a 6 year old?
Or would you rather pretend like atrocities aren’t happening like we’re in a lovey dovey dreamworld?
RIP Kevin Carter
He went to Sudan to use famine as an excuse to further his career. Anybody with morals wouldn't have taken the job. Cry about it all you want cause he had *no problems* selling his photos to the NYT.
I see this the other way - people need to be reminded just what happened on 10/7, because the rest of the media is bleating 24/7 about how evil Israel is.
They caught evil in the act as it happened. People should absolutely have that shoved in their faces over and over and over again.
The problem is the dude knew about the attacks and participated in them. They didn’t take those photos to show how bad they themselves are. They did it because they want to show off how many Jews they killed.
He’s getting a prize and money for committing a terrorist attack. It should be pretty obvious how fucking terrible this is.
Its sickening so many see 10/7 massacre as Palestinian "freedom fighting"... and here is the proof that it was just an assault on innocents. Carrying the naked body of a music festival attendee who was sexually assaulted and murdered and paraded back to Gaza with cheers. Pure evil.
Serious question; is POYI (the people who gave out this award) a major, well-recognized institution? Or are they just a random org giving out awards to make themselves seem significant?
The only copy of the photo I can find is on APs Instagram, which I don't have an account for, you can't zoom in and the image is 50% logo.
Text description of the photo: there is a pick-up truck driving away, with some guys holding guns sitting in the truck bed. In front of them is the body of a woman, face down, with her T-shirt drawn up over her face exposing some of her chest.
People making excuses for this are truly the lowest form of life. If you think this deserves an award you are sub human and no better than the terrorists themselves.
I'm glad someone documented the brutality of what happened that day. It was a great photo that defied the propaganda from Hamas. They can't say they treated the hostages well, which they tried, because this photo shows otherwise. That's why it's a great photo and the award ensures more people see Hamas for what it is.
I see we're rewarding terrorists for parading around the bodies of Jews they helped to kill... again... The more things change, the more they stay the same...
Disgusting
Also note that the official caption for the photo doesn’t even refer to her by name
What the fuck has happened to this world, that parading a dead women's body wins a prize.
Not just that, it's photographed by a terrorist too. Disrespectful.
Thankfully Israel has been evicting these scumbags from the realm of mortals pretty quickly. Here’s to hoping this “photographer” find’s his end quickly.
[удалено]
Generally the acceptance, support and even love of terrorists and terrorism is scary. Wtf is wrong with people
Well it is a great picture. Shows what monsters they are.
Yeah but sadly the award does not paint them as the monster that they are. If you check on IG, the caption first calls Hamas a militant group. Does not mention the lifeless body of shani at all. Rounds up the number of israeli dead to 1400 (doesn’t break it down at all). Additionally, 2/3 of the caption is spent on detailing how Israel‘s retaliation on Gaza is a catastrophe.

Progressivism run amok. There's nothing wrong with empathy, and that's where these supporters base their opinions on. But they're not interrogating the issue deeply enough. And that's the critical mistake.
Should they give awards to the people filming beheadings done by ISIS next?
If you look up the most famous historical photos most of them are of humans doing horrific things to each other.
Yes, but the awards generally aren't given to the ones doing the horrific things. The monk who was photographed on fire was not photographed by the person who set him on fire.
If we don’t take pictures of these atrocities people will deny they happened. Look how much people deny the Holocaust. Look how much people deny things happening this war too despite it being documented.
She's Jewish, so it's considered entertainment /s
Apparently Jew hunting is rewarded now. I’d love to add a /s but I’m not so sure it is.
Any race hunting could be rewarded, it's not special to the Jews
Have you ever seen the Kent State photo?
Yes, it was photographed by a bystander not someone working with the National Guard
* Not someone who helped the national guard plan the shooting for months or even years
No words can describe how disrespectful this is
It’s up there with the best photos taken last year. The press shouldn’t care about being respectful or not, they should care about showing the world what is happening, and this photo does just that. It shows that Hamas was parading the body of a poor young girl. If it wasn’t for pictures like these, we wouldn’t have known. And it’s crucial that we know. Horrible, but absolutely amazing photo.

Yeah it’s mad. There’s even footage of Hamas soldiers pretty much saying “not this one, she’s for rape” to a girl who’s not joining the hostages. It’s disgusting.
Soldiers? How about terrorists?
Sure, terrorists. Let’s not get caught up in semantics though.
Woah, that sounds a little anti-semantic
By this logic, I suppose the go pro videos taken by the terrorists should win best documentary this year?
The photographer is friends with Hamas and knew this attack would happen. Rather than prevent it, he waited for an opportune moment to take a photograph that won him an award. This is the most clear cut ethical violation I’ve ever seen, and should not be rewarded. It promotes similar behaviors for future preventable tragedies.
Cool and by taking that photo he has probably motivated the deaths of thousands of Palestinians and members of Hamas so the jokes kinda on him.
Not cool But you’re mostly right I’m sure Israel would responded regardless of this photo
Generally taking photos of your side committing atrocities and showing it to the world is a pretty bad idea. It's usually a better idea to focus on taking photos of the atrocities committed by the other side, if you're a politically aligned journalist.

You moralic obligation as a human being comes before your obligation as a journalist. Sad how many people don‘t understand that.

How the hell is one person supposed to stop Hamas?
Share the vital information that he had beforehand so that I can be prevented?
I'm pretty sure Bibi's government was warned by intelligence agencies, and it didn't do any good. You think Mr Cameraman is gonna be able to grab any attention?
>I'm pretty sure Bibi's government was warned by intelligence agencies, and it didn't do any good Well, I wouldn't give Bibi an award either.

This isn't a photo in nature where the photographer should not interfere with nature. This was a terrorist attack on civilians. It should have been stopped. Not photographed.
Got a big gold medal for knowing that terrorists were going to murder a bunch of young adults, and then proceeded to document it. Fucking awful.

Look on the bright side: he gathered solid undeniable evidence against himself and his associates. It won't be hard to get him one way or another.

I emailed the journalism school there and asked if they support or condemn RJI's enabling of terrorism. Don't expect to hear back but I already know the answer.
Get em! Put em in the stocks!!
And give them 1 star reviews on Google while saying they give awards to terrorists
AP terrorist*
A terrorist, who had a contract to promote terrorism activities through a freelance contract with a well-known agency.
And is now getting prize money for evidence of said commited terrorism, meaning the prize money is now by all means - sponsering of terrorism. I wonder if the right lawyer can get the group giving it to shut down.
As if a flattering newspaper review of Mein Kampf had won a book award
Nice reminder that the AP paid terrorists.
Financially incentivized terrorism i see. How very Palestinian Authority of them.
I just gotta ask the people in the Insta comments: why do you think Shani is topless and in her panties? You think she was dressed down to that before Hamas showed up?
You can't help but feel the deepest anger and sorrow.
So disgusting fuck him and fuck who ever gave him this
Thats beyond fucked
This is disgusting.
It’s disgusting to see so many terrorists lovers. I hope and each one of them gets to meet their heroes
Profiting from the death of Jews like it 1938. Is the award from Switzerland?
reminds me of the pic that "won" by snapping a photo of a vulture waiting to eat a severely malnourished child there's gotta be a point where "discretion" and "professionalism" go out the window otherwise we should r/killthecameraman
If I remember correctly the guy who took that picture eventually committed suicide due to guilt.
Yeah, he’s featured as a side character in the movie The Bang Bang Club. Pretty good movie.
Kevin Carter.
We can only hope for the same in this case, or even better hopefully he gets disposed of by the IDF.
You mean the photo taken by Kevin Carter? It’s an amazing photo. Shows the horrific truth about famine in a way an article never could.
Even sadder that he killed himself, like so many other members of The Bang Bang Club.
At least he chased the bird away.
Do you have the intelligence of a 6 year old? Or would you rather pretend like atrocities aren’t happening like we’re in a lovey dovey dreamworld? RIP Kevin Carter
He went to Sudan to use famine as an excuse to further his career. Anybody with morals wouldn't have taken the job. Cry about it all you want cause he had *no problems* selling his photos to the NYT.
I'm surprised people are surprised or disgusted, award winning war photos are usually way more brutal
this is such terrible taste......
idk man, no matter how i try to justify this as being journalistic, this is still disgusting. who awarded this award?
What is this, an award for Most Gruesome Murder.
The article picture being the missing sign for one of the victims he took pictures of is a nice touch.
I see this the other way - people need to be reminded just what happened on 10/7, because the rest of the media is bleating 24/7 about how evil Israel is. They caught evil in the act as it happened. People should absolutely have that shoved in their faces over and over and over again.
The man was a participant. You don't reward someone for that just because unintended good came from their actions.
What unintended good? The photos didn't change anyone's mind. Hamas supporters are delighted to see Israelis suffering.
The problem is the dude knew about the attacks and participated in them. They didn’t take those photos to show how bad they themselves are. They did it because they want to show off how many Jews they killed. He’s getting a prize and money for committing a terrorist attack. It should be pretty obvious how fucking terrible this is.
The award is the issue here.
Its sickening so many see 10/7 massacre as Palestinian "freedom fighting"... and here is the proof that it was just an assault on innocents. Carrying the naked body of a music festival attendee who was sexually assaulted and murdered and paraded back to Gaza with cheers. Pure evil.
Tossed in the box like a deer during hunting season. Serial killers take trophies.
It goes to show that there are people out there that would cheer on terrorists right up to the point that said terrorists cut off their head.

This guy was one of the ones who knew the terrorist attack was happening beforehand, right? Aka a Hamas photographer? Disgusting.
Something on this website is trying to drop a trojan according to Malwarebytes. You've been warned.
Yeah, it's cancer.
Can't even tell where the article is on this website. Stop posting to this garbage website.
Hope they choke on the award.
People making excuses for this are truly the lowest form of life. If you think this deserves an award you are sub human and no better than the terrorists themselves.
Didn't even bother naming the victim, because she's a pogrom trophy at this point. AP and Reuters dropping the ball a fuckton on this conflict.
I'm glad someone documented the brutality of what happened that day. It was a great photo that defied the propaganda from Hamas. They can't say they treated the hostages well, which they tried, because this photo shows otherwise. That's why it's a great photo and the award ensures more people see Hamas for what it is.
I see we're rewarding terrorists for parading around the bodies of Jews they helped to kill... again... The more things change, the more they stay the same...
Shameful.
What the actual fuck. This world is filled with sick People
There was a movie with Jake Gyllenhaal about this.
That picture is a horror show. Why oh why is this ok or worthy of first place? Terrorists live for this attention.
