David Miller, better known by his pseudonym David Shankbone, is an American photographer, blogger, and former paralegal.[1][2] He is described by PBS as "arguably the most influential new media photojournalist in the world"[3] for his numerous copyleft photographs, uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and seen in Wikipedia, documenting celebrities, political officials, and events, notably the Occupy Wall Street protests. As a Wikinews citizen journalist, he was the first to interview a sitting head of state, Israeli President Shimon Peres.[4] His photography has been featured in[5] magazines and news websites such as The New York Times, the Miami Herald, and Business Insider,[3][6] and featured in an exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York. In a profile of his Wikinews interviews, the Columbia Journalism Review wrote, "Miller's work feels like a bit of a throwback to a time when Oriana Fallaci published long transcripts of her interviews in book form and David Frost broadcast a six-hour sit-down with Richard Nixon."[1]
