The New York Times published Alec Soth’s photo essay, “The Great Divide” mimicking Englewood native, Tonika Johnson’s Folded Map Project. The feature’s spotlight on Chicago segregation by contrasting aspects of life on the North and South sides of the city sparked controversy and important discussions about artistic and journalistic integrity.
I hope @nytimes really don’t think they came up with this first but regardless, them not checking or researching for similar stories/documentary photography covered in Chicago is POOR JOURNALISM!!! foldedmapproject.com
