Week 4 forum NPPA ethics

One of the few things that jumped out to me was how, there was a part in the code of ethics about photographing staged scenes, it seemed to me that most photojournalists wouldn't have to worry about the scene being staged unless they stage it themselves instead of it being staged accidentally.

Under the Ideally list, I noticed that there was a warning to avoid political and other subjects that might hinder a journalists rights or compromise their ability of free media, which was interesting to me since there seemed to be a fine line that must be walked for that to happen. Especially in the political world and the term "fake news". Which to me seems make things difficult for journalists to conduct there job when covering a political story because someone might consider it fake or real since their now is I guess the feeling that the news has to be interpreted. But they both matter, because it gives the viewers faith about the news they are presented. It can be applied by not staging the photo yourself, and avoiding things that may seem easily compromised and staged.
I liked some the photo Jacob did where he was looking down upon people from a rooftop while people were in line buying coffee. As well as Casey's photos of people playing chess mainly because the way the lighting was gave the photograph a very cool warm effect.
