Ben, that’s why when I submit articles for the Life & Travel section of Manila Standard Today, they’re accompanied by photos that I have taken myself. Otherwise, the essence is lost.

Yes Sass, it’s the problem that most photojournalists have had with editors and writers who have had little or no visual orientation or background in recognizing the images that tell the story or complements the words of a story. That’s why I for one in my lifelong battles with editors and writers in the past can tell in an instant whether any magazine or publication worth the paper it’s printed on holds any kind of credence or respect with regards to photographers who produce the photographs. Believe me, the cluelessness goes deeper than you think. People aren’t aware that one’s best instincts can’t help but show in any photographer’s images or equally, a writer’s or editor’s hand in putting the story together. Instead, the politics or egos of the newsroom or its editorial slant prevail and it’s been the bane and disservice to journalism and photojournalism in general.
