I am curious about the surveillance thing. Do you mean the photojournalist types that literally only document new surveillance equipment in, say, the city they live in? Or do you mean something different?
On a different but similar note, I have noticed that some left leaning journalists that I very much otherwise respect and listen to have started this trend of “don’t document protests” in the past years and I vehemently disagree with that take. Or, and this one gets me, documenting these events is only cool if you completely remove any context that could possibly capture what happened. A lot of these guys mean well, but I think it is a dangerous and counterproductive thought process when it comes to journalism.
