8. Dr. Howe's Presentation on Presentations: Eddie Adams' Siagon Execution (1968) best practices, do-s and don't-s, tips and tricks for fabulous and informative presentations

9. Eddie Adams, Saigon Execution (1968). Newseum.

10. 1968. The Tet Offensive, later understood to be the turning point of the Vietnam War, had just taken place. Promised a “citizen uprising” in favor of the US, which did not materialize, public sentiment was turning rapidly against the conflict. The US was no longer focused on winning the war, but on getting out of it.

11. “As public opinion shifted so did the image of the war in news magazine photos.” --Michael Sherer, “Vietnam War Photos and Public Opinion” (391)

12. According to John Long, a news photograph is powerful because it captures a moment.

13. This photograph helped convince Americans that the South Vietnamese and the US military were, as Andy Grundberg writes, “doing more harm than good against an indigenous insurgency ” sponsored by the North Vietnamese.

14. But... what moment does this image actually document?

15. The executioner, Brig. Gen. Loan, is captured at the moment he shot a Viet Cong prisoner who had murdered a military official, his wife, and his six children.

16. Whatever our personal beliefs, it is important to put ourselves in others' shoes before we judge another's actions. Consider the context. Do your research. Be responsible readers of your world.

17. Eddie Adams felt the American news media used the image without clearly describing its context: "[H]ow do you know you wouldn't have pulled that trigger yourself? You have to put yourself in that situation… It's a war.”

18. Consider the context. Do your research. Be responsible readers of your world.
