Title: BIPOC Photographers vs. Buzzfeed
Post by: Ali Ledgerwood on October 28, 2020, 07:40 PM

This is a case about six black photojournalists who risked life and limb while covering the historic protests during May and June 2020 caused in part from the death of George Floyd. Instead of these Black photojournalists being fully and fairly compensated for licensing of their photos captured on the frontlines of those nationwide protests, BuzzFeed stole Plaintiffs’ photos, ironically celebrating its heist in an online post titled ‘17 Powerful Pictures Of The Protests Through The Eyes Of Black Photographers."
