I actually think that's a pretty personal opinion as well
.
I think a lot of reporting can be classified as being just over the line of just reporting and trying to get the viewers by showing things in a sensationalised manner (not that this necessarily was, but I do wonder what the value was of showing people jumping to their deaths rather than just showing the overall devastation, or what would be the value of say showing a picture of a corpse with a bullet hole in their head laying on the ground). So yup, totally personal.
But then again, this is probably why I'm not a photojournalist
