Photo Journalism - Censoring History

J found a couple of articles of interest online about how photos taken to depict the Great Depression had been killed to "...[cover] the dark heart of the Depression."

These photos are in black & white so you may have an interest in their composition as B&W photos.

They were killed by punching holes in the negatives.

To see the articles go to these links:
