Petition | Fairfax: don't rip photography out of the heart of your journalism – give your staff a fair go | Change.org: The most memorable ones are the horrific crime scenes, probably. Or the conflicts in East Timor and natural disasters – taking photos of such destruction can be heartbreaking.
That's what I do for a living, and have done for 28 years. I'm the chief photographer for the Sydney Morning Herald, and we're starting a petition to try and stop Fairfax from sacking many of its photojournalists and behind-the-scenes news staff.
I never thought we'd have to do this. I have covered just about everything for Fairfax: the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, conflicts in East Timor, disasters in The Philippines, Papal and Presidential visits, Royal tours, crime scenes...there isn’t much I haven’t seen.
