Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Story of the Week #763: Launched TUESDAY November 24, 2020: ‘Behind MY Mask’ from ZUMA Press award winning photojournalist KATHARINE KIMBALL, who interviewed, Oregonians about mask wearing during COVID-19. Health officials say it would change American lives for the better, if it became a cultural norm in the U.S. for people to wear masks when they’re under the weather or in crowded areas. In Japan or South Korea, locals might get dirty looks if they hop on a subway with a sniffle and no mask. Thru out America rallies protesting masks, as a violation of their personal freedom. Meanwhile for others it is the new normal, as they have gotten used to wearing them in public. Like the seat belt a generation ago. Public health experts believe that American culture could fundamentally shift to embrace this new hygiene practices. What do the you think? Welcome to: ‘Behind MY Mask’
‘Excited to launch this important cultural reportage, Katharine did a super job of interviewing and made beautiful portraits to accompany their mask experiences.’ Scott Mc Kiernan Publisher of zReportage.
