When the Lens Lost: The Dilemma of Media Transforming from a Profession to a MoneyFuelled Hobby
A thoughtful and critical chronicle written from Aleppo, Syria, which confronts the conflict between committed journalism and the viral logic of ‘content creators’. The author recounts a first-hand experience in a craft workshop bombarded by influencers seeking to dramatise the scene, and reflects on the role of the journalist as a witness, not a director. A staunch defence of ethics, respect for narrative timing and professional integrity.
