Alonze

So I hear you asking, what is polaroid journalism?
Well, it is a little concoction of mine that aims to improve, or at least expand the realms in which your average journalist has to work.
Polaroid journalism is free, but fair. No papparazzi pressure tactics, and no provocation. We report on what we see, not what we provoke... the way it should be.
The other aspect of polaroid journalism is the speed at which the story should develop. You see something happen, and the report has begun. Within hours the story should hit the internet in it's first form. Of course, paper form could be a problem, and yes, alot of major newspapers work to quick deadlines, but over editing cannot be an issue. Before the truth is veiled with well placed words and manipulated by overpaid editors.
I have no idea of how many people will or should read this. I think this is a step forward within the realms of journalism, and it should change the face of the future from mr best of fifty photographs to one shot, one release, and the story is out for the public.
