Covering a Crisis:
Media Representation of Overdose in America

Christopher Cappoziello, Jordan Gale, Ryan Christopher Jones, Rebecca Kiger

Overdose is currently the leading cause of death in the United States for those under 50. What is the role of photojournalism in the overdose crisis?

 

United Photo Industries aims to question the common visual tropes used in mainstream media reports of drug use and overdose, and to challenge sensationalist coverage.

 

This exhibit explores tough ethical considerations made by photographers and editors covering the overdose crisis, and asks a question: How does photojournalism impact public health?
