Online Symposium on Photojournalism
Friday 2 July 2021 / 9.30 am-5 pm CEST / € 20 / € 10 (students)
The Photo Morgue, The New York Times’ legendary photo archive, is so well known that ‘morgue’ has become a synonym for ‘press archive’. However, press photos in archives are far from dead. Digitisation gives them a second life online and makes a new history of photojournalism possible.
Our symposiumwill focus on the new field of research that has emerged thanks to the online publication of press photo archives.For more information and registration, please visit our website. And of course, feel free to forward this invitation to any of your contacts who might be interested.
