The First Amendment means
from a collegiate standpoint is that we have freedoms but as a student we can’t
take it for granted. As a student,
journalists think that they have all the rights in the world but according to
the five freedoms the rights are limited.
It also means that if journalists are to go into this profession the
First Amendment is always going to be key in terms of taking photos which may
violate someone’s privacy without knowing it.
Now in terms of the
lesson itself, I can come to the conclusion that it is more to it then just
taking photos and posting it on a blog with the proper captions. Journalists need to be super careful when
invading someone’s privacy because they can just take photos and not knowing
that is violating their privacy.
Also a lesson learned is
that the code of ethics can easily be broken and not even know it. It is more to photojournalism then just
taking actual photos and posting it on a blog with the proper captions. Journalists need to be careful of privacy,
violating any of the amendments, false lights, intrusion and especially
copyrighting somebody else’s photo without their permission.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom
of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble
and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
