ABC Media Report – Photojournalism Special …
Had the pleasure and privilege this week of being a third of the ‘panel’ chosen to talk on a ‘Photojournalism Special’ edition of the radio show – ‘Media Report’ on ABC National.
The program, which runs for about half an hour, aired on Friday 31st August at 5.30pm and was repeated early on the Saturday morning.
My co-panelists were Andrew Meares – Chief photographer Fairfax Canberra – and April Fonti – deputy photo editor at AAP … distinguished company !
Media Report host and presenter Richard Aedy led us through a discussion of the state of photojournalism in these changing and dramatic times.
I won’t give too much of it away as you can listen to the entire show by going to the Media Report ABC National web site here … MediaReport – Photojournalism Special
