Words like violence, projectiles and rioting dominated the news coverage. Illustrated with pictures illustrating but not actually showing the described violence delivered by the major news agencies. Only a few journalists accompanied the protestors, who tried to seize the constrution site in a non-violent way, what could be easily observed if one took the plunge to report the event instead of copying a police press release. But this would mean sneaking through the bushes around the construction site with the demonstrators at 12° C and risking a cold (by the way: I got one). Those of us who really went there, saw a different demonstration with outbreaks of violence by overstressed riot police officers and all in all non-violent and passive acting demonstrators, who where trying to avoid violence from their side. But there where few journalists who where really there to report what was going on. http://www.attenzione-photo.com/blog.php?id=63 agency@attenzione-photo.com (attenzione photographers) http://www.attenzione-photo.com/blog.php?id=63 Welcome to the latest attenzione newsletter. While photography is our favourite way of expression, this newsletter will feature a little more text as the last one, as we tried to condense one of our endless discussions about truth and objectivity during one of our meetings.
