With the presence of cameras in nearly every pocket, there's a proliferation of images online. This is causing a shift in the photojournalism landscape and how society views and uses images. Once a field dominated by specialised professionals, smartphones, social media, affordable high-quality cameras and more recently accessibility to generative imaging technologies, have all worked to democratise image-making.This conversation aims to explore how these new realities are influencing photojournalism, raising questions about the role of professionals, ethics, accuracy, and the future of visual storytelling.The main objective is to foster a discussion on how best to navigate this ever evolving landscape and its complicated effects on photojournalism as a profession. Our focus will be on the evolving roles, challenges, and opportunities it presents.
