Diverse Perspectives on Photography and Visual Media
This section of the website is designed to introduce visitors to some of the key issues and challenges facing those working in various areas of visual media today and includes perspectives from those working in the mainstream media, wire services, NGOs, academia, photo agencies and new, online media.
The growth of the Internet and the spread of multiple new, mobile technologies has changed how many of those working in visual media produce and distribute photojournalism and documentary photography. Changing economic models for traditional media clients are provoking innovations and alterations in the ways the visual media market at large functions. While photojournalism and long-form documentary story-telling are often said to be 'in crisis', these interviews illustrate, among many other things, the diverse strategies that are being presently undertaken to ensure their survival and further development.
