zReportage.com Story of the Week #740: TUESDAY June 9, 2020 : KIBERA PANDEMIC STYLING by ZUMA Photographer Donwilson Odhiambo. In Kibera, the largest slum in Kenya’s capital city of Nairobi and one of the largest slums in Africa, the biggest defenses against the spread of COVID-19, social distancing and frequent hand-washing, are nearly impossible. Slums are the next front line in the fight against the coronavirus. Donwilson Odhiambo, a ZUMA Press photographer from Nairobi has stumbled upon something very unique during the COVID-19 pandemic: the coronavirus hairstyle. ”This was something that no one has done in Kenya. No one has done it anywhere else.’ Kibera resident Mable Etambo has been spreading awareness about the pandemic through her simple hairstyle: ‘With the corona hairstyle we would like to tell people to keep distance, to wear masks wherever they go and to wash their hands regularly or use sanitizers to protect themselves.’ Donwilson hopes the government can help ensure people from poor areas can get access to food during these difficult times. And like many around the world he hopes the pandemic ends soon.

ZUMA Press would like to honor the memory of Osama Jumaa photojournalist Osama Jumaa, whom died in Aleppo on June 5th 2016 after being hit by artillery fire as he was covering the offensive by government forces to retake the city from the opposition.
We send our love and compassion to Jumaa’s family and friends. As his colleague we mourn this senseless tragedy, as a human I personally continue my lifelong mission to do anything I can to mitigate all conflict and ask for bloodless solutions to issues and may the innocent be spared!
During his brave work Osama always maintained his impartiality, reporting with great integrity and always attaining to facts and pursuing the truth.
The senseless loss of any person in their prime is a huge loss.
The loss of one good person, is everyone’s loss.

Students in Ken Martin’s photojournalism classes have been on the frontlines of history by photographing the coronavirus pandemic as part of their final projects.
Martin had students in both his Photojournalism and Creative Innovation: The Extended Photo Essay classes photograph the pandemic with images capturing deserted streets and parks in Boston, long lines of people waiting for food, home life during quarantine and local businesses that were affected by the virus. The photos were then compiled into a PowerPoint by each student to submit for grading.
“The projects were so exceptional,” said Martin, who has been teaching photojournalism at Suffolk since the 1980s. “We were way ahead of the New York Times as photographers to document what they were doing…I’m kind of proud of that, that we came up with this idea and we completed everything on time.”
