1. NPPA stands for Natioinal Press Photographers Association.
2. It helps you be a better worker.
3. Credibility is the trust of the public, and your reputation. Its important not to lose your credibility because without it you have nothing. It is good to remain credible so the public will continue to trust you and want you to do work for them.
4. The lighting isn’t correct, and that made him look like a criminal and guilty.
5. Ethics is news, while taste is personal matters.
6. I think that he deserved to win because people need to know about things like that, so they can help. I felt that it was wrong for people to judge him the way they did.
7. I do not think it’s ok, for one people need to know the truth. So therefore if she would indecate what she does to the pictures, then he would be ok.
8. No it would not be ethical to do so, because the smoke would make the bombing look a lot worse than it really is. Also this takes away from the picture.
9. Yes it would be ethical to remove a blemish in a yearbook photo, because that is not taking away from the picture or stating false evidence.
10. Funtions and elements are the most intersting thing we have learned in photojournalism.

1. NPPA- National Press Photographers Association
2. The Code of Ethics keeps people from posting nontruthful and inappropriate pictures and stories.
3. Credibility is the trust people can have in you that you that you won’t fake a story or picture. It’s important not to loose your credibility because you won’t get another job in journalism ever again! Some questions to ask are “in what context is the photo being used?” “is the photo a Fair or Accurate Representation of the information being presented?” “does this photo deceive the reader?”
4. The lighting in the OJ Simpson picture made him look sinister, evil, and guilty!
5. Ethics are your rules that you go by to stop lying and deception, taste is what your pictures focus on.
6. Kevin Carter was judged unfairly. He was trying to help the kids in the foriegn countries when people thought he was just trying to get money. People just assumed that he didn’t do anything to help when he really did.
7. What Oprah does is wrong, because if someone made her look fat or ugly she would be mad, but she does the same thing just opposite. It’s hypocritical because she tells people to be themselves when she is changing the way she looks in pictures.
8. Not ethical at all. It is a lie!
9. Yes because it doesn’t change the story.
10. All the different ways pictures can be taken is fantastic!

1. National Press Photographers Association
2. To promote quality in visual jounralism and strengthen public confidence in the profession.
3. Credibility is your reputation. If you do not have good credibility, it will be difficult to find a job. To try and remain credible, you should ask yourself about the context of the photo, if the photo is fair and accurate, and if the photo deceives the reader.
4. The picture was edited to try and make him look guilty.
5. Ethics are about taking pictures that are fair and accurate, taste is about taking pictures that are offensive.
6. I think it was wrong to judge him. The people who critisized him were reacting without really thinking about the situation. By taking pictures that showed what was happening in other countries, he helped people more than most of the people who critisized his action.
7. I don’t agree with it. I think having her photos edited is deceptive to her audience.
8. No, it would exagerate what was happening.
9. No, it is deceptive in the same way that it is in number 7
10. I think it is interesting takling about ethics in journalism.

1) National Press Photography Association.
2) It helps me take better pictures and be a better photographer.
3) Some questions to ask, because if you dont ask questions then you wont understand, is this a good picture, would the press like this picture?
4) It makes him look quilty.
5) Ethics are the guidelines and taste is how the picture should look so it doesnt gross people out.
6) I felt bad that it drove him to suicide because its his job to take pictures and document them, and in the end he did help out the kid.
7) Sure, because people need to have a sence of humor.
8) No because it makes it feel that bombing was more worst then it was.
9) Yes because that blemish is not permanant.
10) That we get to use a camera.
