last saturday, i joined a photojournalism competition in a nearby barangay, however, i did not win. who won? photographers or "pitikirs" lol, this has always been such a prevalent topic in social media lately, how people who are not journalist gets credited and awarded for things that veteran journalist have been doing for ages, i told myself, this is probably what Kara David felt when she saw Ivana Alawi winning that award, lol. the problem as well is that the masses don't know anything about what journalist do and why it's important, these so-called photographers just take a good "cinematographic" picture and think it's journalism, people see such photogenic pictures and think, yeah, it's journalism, sure, part of photojournalism is getting good pictures but not just good pictures but pictures with stories, moments, emotion.
