I had a discussion with two colleagues of mine about this incident earlier today, one a professional photographer, the other an ethicist. The contours of that discussion, while I think interesting and important, are less important than the tone and sophistication of all parties involved in the story, which allowed and stimulated I'm sure many important and interesting conversations around the country today. Aline Marie (the subject of the photo) Emmanuel Dunand (the photographer) and Coburn Dukehart (the author of the article at NPR) each in their own way make their points, but in a respectful way that creates space for other points of view and encourages dialogue. What kind of society would we create if most of the stories in our (figurative) morning newspaper were at the same elevated level? Of course, we will never know the answer to that question... -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
