Video documents photojournalism 'machine's' coverage of East Jerusalem and West Bank protests

Here on PhotoBlog, we've posted quite a few pictures of protests in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, including at least one where a reporter became part of the story.

In a video posted on the Columbia Journalism Review today, documentary filmmaker Andrew Lampard focuses on the ways that photojournalists are really always part of the story of repetitive protests: Protesters, Israeli security forces, and photographers all regularly repeat a Friday ritual--what one photographer calls "an ongoing story performing itself every week."
