Throughout, the camera has remained a constant spectator, participant, and collaborator. With the advent of new media, the camera has become ubiquitous; Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in private and public buildings, body cameras worn by the police, and in the hands of journalists, participants, or bystanders. The camera presents multiple narratives and counternarratives, sometimes corroborating or challenging the carefully curated reports offered to the public by governments.
