Controversy Surrounds 'Napalm Girl' Photograph's Authorship
A new documentary, 'The Stringer,' has reignited debate over the authorship of the iconic 'Napalm Girl' photograph taken during the Vietnam War. The film suggests that freelance stringer Nguyen Thanh Nghe, rather than Associated Press photographer Nick Ut, may have captured the image. David Burnett, a photojournalist present at the scene, disputes this claim, asserting that Ut was the photographer. The documentary has prompted the Associated Press to review the photograph's attribution, ultimately reaffirming Ut's credit. The controversy highlights the complexities of journalistic integrity and the importance of accurate historical records.
