Statement from Bruce Cotler, President of the New York Press Photographers Association, on the Paparazzi Pursuit of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in New York City
“The basic principle of photojournalism is to cover the news as documentarians and observers. The behavior alleged to have occurred in New York last night goes against this principle at its core, and runs counter to the code of ethics to which all of our members—and any press photographer with respect for themselves and the profession—are expected to adhere.”
Sincerely,
Bruce Cotler
President
