With an insightful combination of personal reflections from his work as a photojournalist alongside academic consideration of the epistemic challenges photojournalists are now facing, Yung Soo Kim weaves together a thoughtful – and at times sobering – reflection on the slipping threads of facticity and truth that photojournalists face today. By foregrounding the challenges facing practitioners, he makes a discussion of ethics tangible and does so in writing that never elides the complex dilemmas photojournalists confront. Kim addresses these dilemmas by reinforcing the priorities of photojournalism, treating these as questions of practice, of personal reflection, and ultimately, of ethics.

A deeply personal analysis of the challenges that have always vexed photojournalists striving to make photographs that tell the truth, the book nicely blends the author's own professional experiences with testimony from his more celebrated colleagues and the research of contemporary academic scholars. Dr. Kim does a brilliant job of examining how visual ethics are put into practice and how they are understood by the reading public.
