Nina Berman: documentary photographer

I did my short presentation on Berman. I focused on her personal story photographs documenting the effects of war. There are other series she has that focus on cultural aspects of the war. Berman's series called Homeland shows military presence in the US during the Iraq war. Even though many of her series focus on war and the military she brings up topics such a mega churches and the Obama campaign. She does not claim to objective. Berman wants to show the affects of war on America. Is she creating media or art? Is there a difference between the two? Is Berman's art activist or alternative?
