The Incomplete Story on "Dying African" Porn

Rasna,

I so wish you had informed yourself better about Kevin Carter, the photojournalist who took the famous photo of the starving Sudanese child while the vulture watched. Your opinion piece would have carried a lot more weight had you noted his explanation for why he did not help, what his thoughts were on the subject afterward and the fact that he committed suicide only months after receiving the prize.

All of that would have supported your opinion in a very compelling way. But it seems short sited how you ended it with just the facts of his winning the Pulitzer prize.

This may be coming in late but what would be a plausible explanation as to why Kevin Carter did not help that child?

@Chiira
No 'plausible explanation' needed. He let on in interviews he's done and other outlets of communication. Check out the wikipedia link at the bottom of the post to read more about it.
