🧵 I just came across @WorldPressPhoto statement “on potentially harmful content” in their archives.

My continous frustration not just with WPP but similar agencies & clients 1/

worldpressphoto.org/collection/pho… The statement lacks transparency in addressing years of harmful content from your agency.

What do you mean by,'Some content in our archive may be harmful or difficult to view' when it is extremely disturbing & gruesome to watch or even read the captions?" This isn’t netflix. 2/

@Reuters shared a photo of a health worker
with a person infected with #Covid19 at the back, laying down on bed naked. The comments were so interesting to read. "He has families, can we respect that?" "unethical" "please delete" & some lectures on ethics.
1/ It is still fascinating that the narrative we have of Italy at this time of emergency is people singing, dancing, visiting each other. The only documentation available online. 2/

My friend got in Addis yesterday night and shared with me the quarantine measures at the airport and her experience:
1/n She flew Emirates & passengers were given a declaration form ( @flyethiopian ) to fill out that they agree to pay USD 1,750 as seen in the photo.
+ NO OTHER HOTEL OPTION listed 2/
