Who's Afraid of Photographers? Protest photography by David Hoffman

A lecture about the history of protest photography by David Hoffman

Interesting stuff.

Cameras are our friends?

Listen at 10:35

The conveniently parked (and smashed up) van theory at the student demo last week stands as true today as ever. It's a media war and the end game is to distract the cameras away from police activity and legitimate protest and onto law-breakers, thus justifying 'heavy handed' policing and winning public support.
