Was the photojournalist who
captured this horrifying
moment…
Ethics final: photojournalism
…acting as an involved citizen
or a detached professional?
Could he have lent a hand? Put
down his camera andchoosenthe
humane, and ethical role of an
involved citizen?
Controversy arouse on Tuesday December 4, when the
cover of the New York Post featured this haunting
image of a New York man, pushed onto the train tracks,
right before he was struck and killed. 58-year old, Ki
Suk Han stood frozen in the tracks watching a speeding
train just seconds away from brutally crushing him.




       The caption says it all, this man was
       “DOOMED” but couldn’t photographer R. Umar
       Abbasi have done something to help? As Han
       watched the train, Abbasi watched the tragedy
       unfold, as a detached professional, through the
       lens of his camera.
