I have a few* thoughts about @MSF and @MagnumPhotos behavour this morning.

(*Lots, over the sound of my grinding teeth.)

Three points (which are not new, really) that need to be hammered home in this debate over and over - are about #consent, #benefit and #circulation. 1/16 1. Consent
There is this standard defence for predatory acts along the lines of "well, they consented". This defence presumes/asserts a bunch of things that just aren't generally true. 2/16

Your friendly reminder that Nobel peace prize winner and white revisionist history darling FW De Klerk literally burned so many state documents to hide the crimes of his government that they had to use the Iscor smelter in Pretoria.

Yes. A steel plant furnace. The paper about the destruction of state records by Verne Harris is exceptional.

Journalists and journalist-studiers. I've been really fortunate to be able to put together a course for Spring at @AnnenbergPenn on journalism in/of conflict. These are some of the topics I'm intending to cover, but I'd love your thoughts and suggestions. The basic intention is to give students a familiarity with some of the theory and themes in the study of journalism that is interested in conflict, disaster and their effects. That, and trying to move the conversation away from a fixation with (US/EU) 'war reporters'.
