First hour: Discussing ethics in photojournalism
Second hour: Previewing the Rochester Jewish Film Festival
A question about photography and journalistic ethics. You may have seen the recent TIME Magazine cover that juxtaposed President Donald Trump and the image of a crying child at the American border. It turns out, that child had not been separated from her parents, and now there are questions about whether TIME should have used the image at all. Our panel of photographers and journalists weighs in. In studio:
- William Snyder, four-time Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer, and chair of the Photojournalism Program at RIT
- Jenn Poggi, assistant professor of photojournalism at RIT, and former photo editor for the Associated Press and U.S. News & World Report
Then in our second hour, the Rochester Jewish Film Festival kicks off next week, and one film tells the story of a local Holocaust survivor. Jack Feldman grew up in Poland and was sent to Auschwitz during the war. In the camp, he was known only by his number, A17606. The tattoo on his arm caught the attention of his great-grandson, Elliott Saiontz. Saiontz interviews Feldman in the film, “The Number on Great-Grandpa’s Arm.” We’ll get a preview of the film this hour from Feldman, Saiontz, and Feldman’s granddaughter, Stacey Saiontz. We’ll also hear what else is in the lineup for this year’s festival. In studio:
- Jack Feldman
- Stacey Saiontz
- Elliott Saiontz
- Bonnie Abrams, director of the Center for Holocaust Awareness and Information at the Rochester Community Federation
- Andrea Miller, director of the Rochester Jewish Film Festival
