Thank you for the link.
I don't think there's a way out of it unless you hire photographers with very limited ability. If somebody is willing to risk their life to be where things are going down, then something beyond money is taking them there.
I can't see how a natural gift for composiition/framing is going to be supressed, exorcised from the head of the photographer who has that. Does an ugly composition improve anything? I think not. I believe that there is beauty everywhere, even in death, unfortunately (or conversely), and that's what we shall continue to witness as long as mankind has the means to kill itself.
I suppose the only way to achieve less glamour is to remove colour. Gritty black/white doesn't always equate with beauty, but as many photographers prove every day, that's not an absolute either.
The only answer is to ban images; after that, ban reporting and everything will then be all right in the world beyond our immediate vision. If not, then eliminate the causes within sight: kill the poor, oblige everyone alive to own the Ferarri and Riva, and then, when there's nobody left to manufacture
those anymore because, well, who wants dirty hands when they are rich, start all over again with the guns and enslavement of another tribe.
