Photographers were sent to Haiti on assignment, and others left for the Carribean on spec to document the devastation and help tell the tragic story.<\/p>\n<p>In looking at the various outlets for imagery from Haiti, I\u2019m wondering if there might be a new way that photojournalism could capture a story of this magnitude, and if the current, traditional way in which multiple media outlets send multiple photographers to places of crisis has preventable pitfalls of its own.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/happybrowngirl\/status\/7957194405\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"Twitter \/ HappyBrownGirl: Do the &quot;foreign&quot; journos w ...\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/4291081908_e0d5f6c399.jpg?w=470&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Currently (from what I can tell) regardless of their media outlet (the New York Times, AFP, Reuters, CNN), many of the photographers (with few exceptions) are taking very similar pictures. There\u2019s an unbelievable amount of redundancy, which, in the end, means the entire story isn\u2019t being told.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, there\u2019s clearly an unbelievable amount of devestation and destruction to \u201ccover\u201d, which is why the photographs tend to look the same. But why couldn\u2019t these media outlets band together to paint a wider, deeper, more involved picture of what\u2019s really happening in Haiti?<\/p>\n<p>Are conflict photographers, or the kinds of photographers who are on the first flights into situations like Haiti, more experienced in reacting to quickly evolving events, rather than telling a story that spans a sequence of pictures? It looks like everyone\u2019s running around trying to photograph the next iconic image that will win a World Press Photo award, rather than trying to visually tell the stories of the Haitian people.<\/p>\n<p>Some \u201cPalace Gates Helicopter Redundancy\u201d from Reuters and AP:<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/nphotos\/slideshow\/photo\/\/100119\/481\/198d7661397f4a0ab5a48835bf5f7f7f\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u00a9 AP, Ricardo Arduengo\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/capt.198d7661397f4a0ab5a48835bf5f7f7f.haiti_earthquake_xgb108.jpg?w=400&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">\u00a9 AP, Ricardo Arduengo<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/nphotos\/slideshow\/photo\/\/100119\/481\/0488d6ad8c004cc3a9427e1fe5ea4130\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u00a9 AP, Gregory Bull\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/capt.0488d6ad8c004cc3a9427e1fe5ea4130.aptopix_haiti_earthquake_xgb101.jpg?w=400&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">\u00a9 AP, Gregory Bull<\/span><br \/>&nbsp;<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/01\/20\/world\/americas\/20haiti.html?hp\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u00a9 Reuters, Carlos Barria\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/4290662771_fea143e093.jpg?w=470&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">\u00a9 Reuters, Carlos Barria<\/span><br \/>&nbsp;<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/nphotos\/slideshow\/photo\/\/100119\/ids_photos_wl\/r3663287886.jpg\/%3Cbr%20%3E%3C\/a%3E\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u00a9 Reuters, Bianca Marin\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/4291406744_186ace48b3_o.jpg?w=400&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">\u00a9 Reuters, Bianca Marin<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Why don\u2019t media outlets join forces to divide and conquer the enormity of a situation like Haiti\u2019s? Media outlets could assign individual photographers to follow one aspect of the Haiti story, and the story could be published by all participating outlets. An editor could send a photographer to cover one or a few of these:<\/p>\n<p>* Hospitals: existing and mobile<br \/>* Infrastructure: destruction, rebuilding, and homespun improvisations<br \/>* Utilities: the effort to restore power, water, sewer<br \/>* Burials: cemeteries and mass graves<br \/>* Architecture: visual analysis of loss of historic sites and improvised temporary structures<br \/>* Orphans: the newly orphaned, and survivors at orphanages<br \/>* Law enforcement: the struggle of a decimated police force in its attempts to establish security\/safety<br \/>* The full story of one particular building; covering the families affected, the rescuers, the role of that building within the community, pre-quake and post-quake<br \/>* The global response: up-close and personal photo stories with specialised teams; doctors, firefighters, K-9 rescue units, etc\u2026<br \/>* A community where a family with more resources is helping their less fortunate neighbors<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re beginning to see some of these specific assignments.

Perhaps it\u2019s just the nature of an unfolding disaster that the first pictures tend to be more sensational, reactionary, and less about telling a story. This week, The Times embedded a videographer aboard the USN Comfort, which will be very interesting. And it\u2019s taken a week, but the Times is finally starting to branch-out and develop some of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2010\/01\/17\/world\/americas\/haiti-earthquake-multimedia.html\">these specific stories here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/RAMhaiti\/status\/7983848507\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"Twitter \/ Richard Morse: The photographers went of ...\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/4290652941_02a1c951b4.jpg?w=470&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I would have liked to have seen a story following a single family through the first week\u2019s quake aftermath.
