The people who actually point their camera at things are everyday people with smartphones. The majority of "news" content I've seen taken with a camera over the last few years was not been taken by a professional journalist.
The George Floyd story, maybe the story of the decade revolved around footage taken with a smartphone camera.

- sofixa 5y ago> The George Floyd story, maybe the story of the decade Pandemic with millions of dead, war in Ukraine, huge scale corruption ( Pandora papers), COP26, an attempted coup in a supposedly liberal democracy to name just a few things from this decade, and a racially motivated murder by a policeman in the US is your pick for "the story of the decade" 2 years in? Sorry to burst your bubble but the vast majority of the planet doesn't care that much (beyond initial compassion) about racial problems in the US.
- faeriechangling 5y agoUkraine war is a bigger story, just slipped my mind. The Floyd story is bigger than a murder though, at least 19 people died in the ensuing protests, over 10 thousand were arrested, and there was a few billion in property damage.
