Bill Keller on Joao Silva, "The Bang, Bang Club" and Combat Photography



A fascinating read in the Sunday, NY Times Magazine. Editor of the Times shares his thoughts on the perils faced by all war correspondents and especially those suffered by Joao Silva, Chris Hendros, Tim Herthington, Tyler Hicks and Lynsey Addario.

From Keller's piece the magazine...

And from the Lens blog... an interview with Silva and Greg Marinovich...

It's interesting to see the perspective of an editor who feels responsible, as I think he should at least to some degree, for the fate of his crews in dangerous places.
