Four Media Ethics students take on the ethics case of Photojournalist Kevin Carter and his infamous and award winning photograph “Sudanese Girl”. We take a look at Carter’s life as well as taking his case through Garry Bryant’s Photojournalism Ethical Model. Finally, we come up with a decision on whether or not Carter was ethical in taking that heart wrenching photograph.

Listen! He could of taken the picture then helping the starving kid.Giving a hand is better than giving your life.He took his life cause of depression he could of just helped her afterwards.but his to stupid.
She was trying to crawl to a camp 1 kilomters away….
I read some comments online that the Sudanese girl in the picture was actually pooing. Can anyone confirm or deny that claim with evidence?
African says thanx for the help, the starvation and the bombs!!!!
Stop protecting this luceferian scum! He chose the child because it was alone.. Read why he got a Pulitzer, and if you know about his kind of journalism, than he should not have received it because he said he did not want to ruin the journalistic approach to his photography. You take up for the scum, why else do you think he won a million dollars as prize, read more about this asshole.. IM DONE……
@sanzibar76 i have read a book The bang bang club wrote by silva and what u are talking about is not certain. He describe IN BOOK that many mothers has had left their children to get food. But Silva never refer that this child has been in same situation. That was one of possibilities. And Silva dont really know what happend with her. BTW this guy who claim he had an interview with SIlva is that a joke ? i could not find a single one good sours for it.People just copy/paist same text. its a joke.
it on the web on several source i dont remember the exact one, try wiki, first and they probably got the reference
@Sanzibar76 where did u get this information? i am writing an dissertatnion about it i would use that kind of info.

@sanzibar76 actually teh story is simpler,the parent of the child were just on the side, awaiting food from the red cross, he didnt let her to dye or stage anything, the child isnt a girl but a boy he survive and died 14 years later, againt one good exemple on how people dont go seek the information, and beleive urban legend,

kevin was truely a master mind..his art was twisted but it spoke to the soul..he was and forever will be the best photographer..r.i.p dearst friend..you are forever gonna be my inspiration
I say staged because i vacationed in the country with my mother, we saw buzzards all the time. If u walk up on them they fly away. Jesus people, a pulitzer for this?
This pic was staged. Just for money. Someone asked him to take picture for the sick elite in this country. Who leaves a defenseless child to be eaten by a buzzard after they take a pic. I don’t buy it. He was from South Africa by way of europe. hmmmm
my kids risked their life saving five children in an apartment where they were left alone. They didn’t think of their lives, their future prosperity, they wanted nothing.
I hate to say it but i think this picture was staged. He was a loser in his career, god bless the dead. Is this the only way he could make a buck. Wow
HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. THIS IS COMMON IN AFRICA. HE SHOULD OF PUT THE CAMERA DOWN AND HELPED. ISNT IT BETTER TO SAVE A LIFE THAN TO TAKE A PICTURE OF BIRD WAITING FOR A I DONT BUY IT, HE IS SOUTH AFRICAN BY WAY OF EUROPE. SICK, EVIL, you finish it.
Good stuff you got here!
oh no? so lets say he helps the kid…dose not get the picture.. the kid would die in a few days and this picture would not have been released and inspired people to go and help..i guarantee this picture indirectly helped save hundreds if not thousands of lives..
Sure its easy to judge , I wasnt there, and the girl may have been too far gone, bujt im sorry . . . . . . . . . This man did some amazing things, this was not one of them ( I am completely aware of how the picture may have communicated the despair in Sudan the rest of the world, that does not give him a free pass)
Lets forget about morality, how about, how easy it would of been to help her to a food station. On “this” specific subject i do not feel sorrow for him, I will not praise him for the shot, I will not entertain a dialogue of perceptions, “Job?”, as far as his regret and hauntings , he made a choice
Personally I dont care if I get hated on or not its my opinion on this situation and allow me to say man if I was in his position my heart would not allow me to leave her there. I wouldnt have minded facing the consequences and I am almost certain that if Kevin could go back he wouldnt have done what he did and he would have saved her life.
He did! HE HIMSELF couldn’t do anything because he would risk getting deported or something & THAT would make him utterly USELESS. He ran 2 get help but when he came back she was gone. He did his absolute best 2 help everyone within his boundries but sometimes that just wasn’t enough. Kevin saw the WORST of mankind and tried his hardest 2 make things right & (more than likely) put a TERRIBLE toll on his mind & he couldn’t take it. I’d advise u 2 delete your comment before u get hated on.
Kevin WANTED to help the little girl but due to the restrictions he himself could not do a thing, he left to get help but when he came back, she was gone.
