It is now over a year since we launched Enter, the online magazine of World Press Photo's Education Department for participants and organizations
involved in the foundation's seminar programs.
Welcome, then, to edition four in which we have made a few changes.
It would be silly – as we are a photographic online magazine – not to make
the best of the outstanding images we feature so our galleries have been redesigned
for this issue.
And this time, instead of featuring work by former World Press Photo seminar
attendees on a theme, we invited each photojournalist to submit a mixed portfolio
of images. Tell us what you think of them.
Indeed, please keep your comments coming about all aspects of Enter. It is
your magazine. You can email us using the link at the foot of this page.
In Talking Point, the renowned photojournalist Shahidul Alam from Bangladesh
addresses the subject which seems to be on everyone's lips these days – citizen
journalism.
He asks - how will the opportunities offered to the amateur and semi-pro by relatively cheap, high-end technology affect the way professionals operate and make a living?
Agenda, introduced in edition three, makes another appearance. As its name
implies, Agenda provides information about some of the events, competitions
and exhibitions worldwide which are taking place or have closing dates between
this issue and the next.
If you have any upcoming information for Agenda, or are involved in organizing
an event, let us know by using the email link at the foot of the Agenda page.
We are particularly interested in what is planned between September 2006 and
January 2007.
Speaking of Agendas, one important date for twelve fortunate photographers
is November 4 2006 for that is the start of their Joop Swart Masterclass - the
13th – in Amsterdam. Full details can be accessed from the link at the foot
of this page.
Two dates to mention in the recent
past were the first two weeks of May when photojournalism teachers who take
part in World Press Photo educational partnerships in Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia,
Nigeria and the Philippines visited Amsterdam for a Training of the Trainers
Program. You can read about it on our corporate website, to which there is a
link below.
And on May 3, journalists and photographers from all
over the world combined to mark World Press Freedom Day. There's a link to the
website at the foot of this page.
