Welcome to edition six of Enter, the online magazine of World Press Photo's Education Department for those involved in the foundation's education programs.
What role does a photographer play in today’s typical newsroom? Do photojournalists feel second-class citizens behind those who provide the words in a publication?
They are questions posed in this edition’s Talking Point feature. And the conclusion of the author – himself a former photo editor of an influential publication in South America – is that if image-makers do feel inferior, it is partly their own fault.
There’s an even more international flavor to our galleries this time.
They include images of celebration after a peace deal is agreed in Nepal. There are studies of life in two contrasting retail environments – a shoe shop in the Philippines and an ancient market in Japan. And a series of unusual images highlights the dramatic effect the recent war in Lebanon had on a group of children.
Close-Up profiles Max Penson, who fought prejudice in the Soviet Union to record life in his adopted Uzbekistan in the nineteen thirties and forties.
