Absolute must read. Beide fotografen kregen politiek asiel in Nederland, Bojan Stojanović is hier toentertijd ook door verschillende media geïnterviewd, maar eigenlijk is er nooit écht kritisch gekeken naar hoe deze foto's tot stand konden komen. Goed werk van Barbara Matejčić.
If you read one thing today, let it be this: Barbara Matejčić investigates the World Press Photo of a murder in Bosnia during the war. How did the photographer capture the killing — and why didn’t the jury ask tougher questions?
