Notes:
Conference paper, Society for the Study of Social Problems. 2 pages., "The lines between art photography, documentary, and photojournalism have increasingly blurred since the early 1980s." Author cites Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother" image [disseminated through the Farm Security Administration] as an emblematic piece of concerned photography "now ubiquitous in realms quite removed from social concern for poverty."

1 page., "The well-known images of urban and rural poverty published during the Great Depression only represented a fragment of the type of photography funded by the American government. The Tennessee Valley Authority, the Works Progress Administration and the Rural Electrification Administration not only needed photographers for recording purposes, but to fashion images of hope and progress."
