The Visual Framing of Social Issues
in partnership with the VII Foundation
With our culture steeped in visuality, news images keep getting more creative and multi-layered.
In this event, Michael Shaw, publisher of Reading the Pictures and Chatting the Pictures, is in conversation with David Campbell to discuss the visual framing of major social issues.
For example, what can we learn from visual coverage of the rapidly-escalating climate crisis? What pictures are standing out? Are there double standards and shifting criteria regarding the use of graphic imagery? And with America more polarized than ever, what news photography is refusing to play along with division?
