This mixed-methods study makes use of semi-structured interviews with photojournalists to create a taxonomy of the sources of interference that they encounter in the course of doing their work. It draws on this taxonomy and materials in the literature to design a survey that assesses the prevalence of these interferences. This paper also integrates, into the hierarchy of influences model, critical/cultural theories that offers an ideology of the visual: iconophobia, the fear and anxiety of images, and iconoclasm, a desire to control, suppress, and destroy them. Taken together, this study’s chief goal is to enrich the hierarchy of influences model with a specifically visual ideology, and to open up new, understudied avenues into the practice of photojournalism.
