Article is currently too focused on Evan Vucci's photographs
editThe lead and first sentence of the article is currently singularly focused on Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci:
Evan Vucci, an American photojournalist, captured a series of photographs of...
However there were several photographers present who all took various photos of the shooting and the raised fist. All of their output was shared in the aftermath and analyzed as iconic photography of the moment.
- New York Times:
The still images of the assassination attempt — by Doug Mills of The New York Times, and by photographers from The Associated Press and Reuters — tell another story.
- Time:
Various iterations of these images, taken by several photojournalists, continue to be shared. One of those photographs, taken by Associated Press photojournalist Evan Vucci, was chosen to appear on the cover of TIME.
Photographers there included, at least: Brendan McDermid - Reuters, Gene J. Puskar - AP, Evan Vucci - AP, Doug Mills - NYT, Anna Moneymaker - Getty
Now, perhaps that particular best Vucci photograph has become the subject of the article. In that case the article should be re-titled to Donald Trump raised-fist photograph, singular, or to the actual title that the author has assigned to that particular work.
But as the current title is "photographs", plural, the other photographers and raised-fist photographs should be included in the article per their similar analysis in reliable third-party sources.
Perhaps too the article should be extended past the "raised fist" photos to include the other big ones from that day. Namely, the photograph of the speeding bullet by Mills and the photo of him on the floor by Moneymaker. Something like Photographs of the Donald Trump assassination attempt.
- Axios:
After the Trump rally shooting, three images stood out immediately. They've come to be known in newsrooms as the "Evan photo" by AP's Evan Vucci, the "Anna photo" by Getty's Anna Moneymaker, and "the bullet photo" by the New York Times' Doug Mills.
