New York Times photo is a question of ethics

The above image from yesterday's New York Times has created some controversy under the topic of ethics.

It shows a teenager driving at 60 miles an hour with both hands steadily gripping a phone, while the lone limb of a passenger reaches over to steer the speeding car.

According to Blake Fleetwood,the photographer Dan Gillsaid he shot the picture on another assignment for the NYT last November for a story about teenagers and HIV.

"I tagged along with three students and the driver was texting. It's not often we as journalists are allowed into someone's personal life.
"Is it safe? Probably not, but as journalists we are not here to judge or direct, only to observe and to tell the story"
