We’ve Updated Our Editorial Policies to Separate us From Content Creators In today's world, journalists are often called content creators. But that lumps us in with photographers, video shooters, movie-makers, musicians, etc. And overall, it dehumanizes us. At the Phoblographer, I lead the staff to educate people about how different journalists are. Lots of folks don't trust journalists, but luckily, this rarely happens with us. For over 15 years, the Phoblographer has been one of the single best places for gear articles, unique takes on the photo industry, news, the profiling of the most diverse set of photographers, and these days, a big focus is how photographers can differentiate themselves from AI. Purism isn't going to cut it in the future. To that end, we've become even more transparent about how we operate. And we've updated our editorial policies. Those policies can be found here.
