Axios is reporting that an unnamed editor of a ‘major news outlet’ is advising the media not to use the now iconic image of Trump defiantly raising his fist after the attempt on his life this weekend.
This editor recognizes the inherent power of the image and believes that it helps Trump.
They've come to be known in newsrooms as the "Evan photo" by AP's Evan Vucci, the "Anna photo" by Getty's Anna Moneymaker, and "The bullet photo" by the New York Times' Doug Mills.
Zoom in: Multiple photographers worried privately in conversations with Axios that the images from the rally could turn into a kind of "Photoganda," with the Trump campaign using them to further their agenda despite the photographers' intent of capturing a news event.
A photo editor and photographer from a major news outlet said the "Amount that publications have been using Evan's photo is kind of free P.R. for Trump in a way, and its dangerous for media organizations to keep sharing that photo despite how good it is."

Do you think the media would say this if the photo was of a Democrat? Not a chance.
