The Afghan girl - a podcast by Aim for the Bushes

Oh boy in this episode we talk about some drama that went down on YouTube, but it's not what you’re thinking. This revolves around discussions of photography, ethics and photojournalism about the iconic photo known as the Afghan Girl from a cover of National Geographic.

Was this an ok photo to take? Tough to say. Like almost everything it's not so black and white but we talk about the circumstance in which it was taken and who is the right to make criticisms.

This is a shorter episode since this is the only topic. Links to the videos I discuss are below. Watch them for all the background info! Thanks for listening!
