I have just finished reading an article that my daughter was first author on. “Old Threats, New Name? Generative AI and Visual Journalism

It got me wondering, do #photojournalists use public key cryptography to sign their work? Similarly to how some people use cryptography to sign their emails.
It would provide a way for consumers to distinguish between computer generated images and actual photojournalists work if they were able to digitally sign their images, in a way that #news organisations would honour in their publications. That is, published images or videos would include a digital signature created using public key cryptography. The photojournalist has the private key, and the public key is available online in some photojournalist public key service. So anyone who views the image in a news story can verify that it was produced by the photojournalist using the public key, but of course they can’t sign images with the public key. They can only verify the existing signature. If the photojournalist is the only one that has the private key, they are the only one that can sign the image. Then we would have a way to know which images are real and which are computer generated. Computer generated images won’t have a photojournalist signature unless they wanted them to.
Perhaps this is being done already?

An article from Polka Magazine [french] about a new book dedicated to Weegee - which I linked in my @Flipboard magazine POL!FEMO https://flipboard.com/@leobrogioni/pol-femo-mkmhnkebz :flipboard: - contains a photograph that caught my attention and that I want to share with you.
It's an image of Weegee at work, presumably writing a caption for one of his photos. The photojournalist is at the back of his car, sitting in front of the open trunk. The trunk has been modified and organized to serve as a workspace and contains cameras, flashes, flashbulbs, boots, chassis, a bag, a spare wheel, various car tools, a typewriter, and a flashlight. It's a photo from 1943: in eighty years, almost everything in the trunk has been replaced by a smartphone.

On #Oct7 #Hamas terrorists were not only 1s who documented #warcrimes they had committed during deadly rampage across southern #Israel. Some of #atrocities were captured by Gaza-based #photojournalists working for the AP Reuters CNN NYT whose early morning presence (and ride-alongs) at the breached border area raises serious #ethical questions. Was this coordinated w Hamas?
