Ep.245 - Photojournalism & Cultural Appropriation
In a week where:
- A police officer is to be charged with the murder of Chris Kaba.
- Rupert Murdoch steps down as chair of Fox & News Corp.
- Pro-EU protestors rally in London.
- The WGA writer's strike ends after 148 days.
- France end military presence in Niger and pull ambassador from country after coup.
In Music - (6:14) With the recent comments of Rolling Store Founder Jann Wenner making waves - leading to him being dropped off the RRHOF - it must be asked what is even the point of the RRHOF now?
In TV: (12:13) GB News somehow still exists even though every time I hear about them they're breaking Ofcom rules in one way or another. At this point, it's an unabashed misinformation machine.
In Photography: (31:28) One aspect of Photography I love is Photojournalism, some of my heroes did photojournalism at some point in their careers. But the form is a rare one these days, which makes the small number of them highly important in this digital age.
Lasty, in Culture: (44:55) The term "cultural appropriation" is one that has been sewn into cultural debate for years now. But is it a 'bogeyman' phrase? Don't we borrow from other cultures all the time?
