More information:-

http://en.rsf.org/palestinian-territories-photographer-deliberately-shot-by-17-05-2011,40293.html

Demotix reporters in or going to troubled areas should be reading the RSF web site.

As RSF says this appears to have been a deliberate shooting of an identifiable Press photographer.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

The following tips are based on commonly accepted editorial values adopted by most mainstream media.

Visual journalists operate as trustees of the public. Our primary role is to report visually on the significant events and varied viewpoints in our common world. Our primary goal is the faithful and comprehensive depiction of the subject at hand. As visual journalists, we have the responsibility to document society and to preserve its history through images.

On our Editorial ethics for photojournalists page we have put together a list commonly accepted editorial values adopted by most mainstream media.
