In today’s world, journalists are often called content creators. But that lumps us in with photographers, video shooters, movie-makers, musicians, etc. And overall, it dehumanizes us. At the Phoblographer, I lead the staff to educate people about how different journalists are. Lots of folks don’t trust journalists, but luckily, this rarely happens with us. For over 15 years, the Phoblographer has been one of the single best places for gear articles, unique takes on the photo industry, news, the profiling of the most diverse set of photographers, and these days, a big focus is how photographers can differentiate themselves from AI. Purism isn’t going to cut it in the future. To that end, we’ve become even more transparent about how we operate. And we’ve updated our editorial policies. Those policies can be found here.
Our policies are editorial practices by individual content creators such as YouTubers and Social Media personalities. We create articles based on how we feel, and not based on what a social-media based algorithm is trying to tell you to do. Sometimes we create articles based on what people want to read. And we gather that data from traffic reports. However, this is all done by humans.
Further, we talk more about how we’re using AI in the newsroom to assist, not replace humans. We also discuss how we do not accept paid press trips.
If you have any questions about it, you can send us an email.
