International organisations estimate that across Southeast Asia, hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to work in so-called scam centers. The situation has reached the level of a humanitarian crisis.
@Reuters just published a new piece on the subject:
"Scammed into scamming" is about graphic novel style scrollytelling as it depicts insidious trafficking operations, purported immigration officials, and the harsh life in the compounds.

A multibillion-dollar fraud industry has taken root across Southeast Asia, fueled partly by trafficking victims. In lawless zones along the Myanmar-Thai border, Chinese-run compounds force thousands to scam strangers online under threat of violence. Thailand has become a key transit hub, Reuters found.

McDermott and co-authors Tara Marie Mortensen and Robert A. Wertz of the University of South Carolina documented that professionally authored images and images by amateur photographers were assessed in a survey with nearly identical levels of credibility, both on news websites and on Instagram. This was true even though respondents rated professional images higher in terms of authority and visual composition.
"People notice when a picture is professional, but they don't seem to care," McDermott, a former photojournalist, says. [Phys.org]

This study examines how the professionalism of a photograph’s authorship and presentational context influence the perceived credibility of the image using a two (photographer; staff or amateur) by two (image presentational context; news site or social media) quasi experiment. The small difference in how respondents rate the credibility of the images suggests that, broadly, participants in this study are willing to accept newsworthy images as credible on social media, and social media images as credible in the news.

Documentary photographers have to offer more than just photos: "they must be storytellers, refine their journalistic instincts and be ready to work in teams" (Rino Pucci). The multimedia realm appears to be the natural outlet for contemporary use and broader dissemination of documentary photography projects.
