The Columbia Chronicles: Photo Gallery

Previous Slide | Next Slide

A picture can say a thousand words, or so it´s been said.

Photo journalists walk a narrow line during disasters. On one hand, they want to show people events as they unfold. Some of these images evoke great sadness in people who look at them.

Photojournalists do not want to infringe on the private moments of people in grief, or people who suffer. How would you decide which photos to print and which ones not to print?

Take a look at the photos aboove. Have our photo-journalists crossed any lines? Are they remaining true to their respnsibility as journalists? Look at these photos and explain why you think they should or should not have been published.

Special Report: THE COLUMBIA CHRONICLES
Space Shuttle Columbia arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in March 1979. By July of this year, after 28 missions and 123 million miles in space, the charred remains of the orbiter lay in pieces in a hangar not far from the launch pad where it lifted off on its final journey. The Daytona Beach News-Journal´s NIE Program presents The Columbia Chronicles.
