What Are The Common Ethical Issues Within Visual Storytelling?

“Depiciting ‘those in need’ as incapable and passively awaiting rescue by outsiders has to stop! It’s not only unethical. It’s also inaccurate. This type of communications is antithetical to the mission of international NGO’s, and it is racist, classist, exploitative, and immoral.”
