The recent awarding of the ‘Photo of the Year’ by Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism has sparked controversy and outrage. One of the winning photos, featuring the dead body of Shani Louk, a victim of the 10/7 massacre, is not only disrespectful but also raises ethical concerns about photojournalism. Some photographers involved are even suspected to have had prior knowledge about these tragic events. We call upon Nikon, as the main sponsor of this award, to publicly denounce this award-winning photo and demand that Reynolds Journalism Institute revoke this award immediately. This action will send a strong message about respecting human dignity and ethical standards in journalism. It will also take a stand against antisemitism. Sign this petition now to urge Nikon to take action on this matter.
