duckrabbit posted this on November 29th, 2009 Adam Westbrook has a great blog on all things to do with journalism and new media. He’s also a contributing editor of duckrabbitblog. Good to see him not just commenting on new media journalism but also creating some of the stuff himself.
Adam’s audio slideshow,
‘Tells the story of John Hirst, a fascinating man who [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 20th, 2009 The headline on the BBC website reads:
In Pictures: Rebuilding Wrecked Lives After Sierra Leone’s civil war
Sounds interesting?
Then I flicked to the set and found another story to the one sold to me in the headline.
There’s nothing technically wrong with Nick Danzinger’s black and white pictures of people from [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 7th, 2009 has been posted by Paul Melcher on the Black Star Rising blog. You can read the full post here. duckrabbit doesn’t entirely agree with him. I think its actually a bit of a cliche that NGO’s only show pictures of despair coming out of Africa. Actually I think a lot of what they show is [...]

duckrabbit posted this on October 15th, 2009 I read a comment on Lightstalkers by a photojournalist who said that growing up in London twenty years ago he wasn’t aware of any racism. It’s typical of a revisionist version of the world that has been prevalent in the comments sections of many photography blogs the past couple of months since Stan Banos sparked [...]
duckrabbit posted this on October 8th, 2009 Yesterday duckrabbit pointed out the success of a rather brilliant advertisement for the military might of the Chinese Communist party by Dan Chung.
Chung has been in touch to let duckrabbit know that as a typical Westerner I’m totally out of touch.
His response (in bold) is worth considering. He’s annoyed by my claim that [...]
duckrabbit posted this on October 6th, 2009 Amnesty International is an organisation that duckrabbit fully supports. One of the best ways of achieving a more equal world is to stop human rights abuses and that’s exactly what Amnesty sets out to do.
Brilliant then to see how highly they regard photography as a tool to achieve social justice. duckrabbit will be speaking [...]
Adam Westbrook posted this on September 23rd, 2009 This week long mini series by the Globe and Mail is causing quite the stir among multimedia journalists this week. Tracy Boyer’s eagle eye spotted it on the weekend, and it’s had plaudits from the likes of The Travel Photographer and The Bombay Flying Club.
I like it too, for several reasons:
it’s full screen [...]
duckrabbit posted this on September 11th, 2009 Two of the best are The Open Society Institute and Human Rights Watch.
Why are they so good? Because they are creating seriously good journalism for all the right reasons. They want to educate and inform people about what’s really going on in the world, not just tap them up for cash.
Ed Kashi’s work [...]
duckrabbit posted this on September 2nd, 2009 Ibrahim Jassam- Imprisoned Journalist More than half a year into it (Obama Presidency), we still have: a widening war, rendition, Blackwater (XE) Mercs, legalized domestic spying, kowtowing to Republicans, corporations, financial institutions, etc, etc, etc… Change we’ve yet to live in!
So it’s no surprise that despite being ordered released by the Iraqi courts, Iraqi [...]
duckrabbit posted this on August 28th, 2009 BBC audio slideshow, Father and Son, on duckabbit [...]
duckrabbit posted this on August 17th, 2009 Many great photographers make really bad audio slideshows because they treat audio as afterthought, or they try to do a voiceover without having any presentation skills.
They might as well not bother.
Actually I’d go further then that. When you put your photos together with poor audio you actually diminish the value of your photos.

duckrabbit posted this on August 15th, 2009 Adam Westbrook was one of a number of bloggers who followed up on duckrabbit’s post on MSF’s new cinema advert with a much wider analysis of how charities communicate:
‘At the heart of this lies the important question of how charities choose to spread their word. The public generally are now far less trusting of [...]
duckrabbit posted this on August 14th, 2009 WW2 Advert
Every now and then duckrabbit invites people to post here who have more interesting things to say about life than we do. Today its the turn of Pete Masters, MSF Uk’s web guru, a charity that provides medical support in response to humanitarian situations.
Basically they patch people up and save lives [...]

duckrabbit posted this on August 12th, 2009 ‘Emilio Morenatti, a 40-year-old photographer for The Associated Press whose pictures from the Middle East have been likened to artwork, was badly wounded Tuesday in southern Afghanistan when the vehicle in which he was riding was struck by a roadside bomb. The blast also injured Andi Jatmiko, 44, a videographer for A.P. Television News from [...]

I am trying to imagine the shock of a nuclear bomb taking out your city at the moment you sit down for breakfast. It’s not really the kind [...]
duckrabbit posted this on July 28th, 2009 Recently I wrote a post on RESOLVE about the art of the soliloquy in multimedia. The ‘to be or not to be’ moment, when a character in a play steps out of the action and shares their soul with the audience.
Shakespeare had it cracked.
We want to know what’s going on beneath the skin. [...]

This week we’re kicking off a new series ‘ Where it’s at’. This is where the finest work we sing about on duckrabbit will go. The stuff that kicks our ass.
Where better to start then with Joseph Rodriguez?
Regular readers will know that duckrabbit couldn’t give a toss about the tedious cult [...]
duckrabbit posted this on July 7th, 2009
When duckrabbit lived in Ethiopia the radio programmes that I managed regularly told stories of women and children who had been the victims of sexual violence. The stories were horrific. To say that that the problem is endemic is to put it mildly. Sexual violence against women and children is rampant the [...]
