Reframing visual journalism in the age of synthetic media > saturday 20/04/2024
This panel will discuss how and why visual journalism needs to be elevated in contemporary discussions, the danger that synthetic visual media poses to the power of images to document events and issues, and why generative AI is likely to increase media organizations’ reliance on authenticated visual content.

Images of newsworthy events that appear on news websites and on social media have the same level of credibility in the public's view.
(…)
McDermott and co-authors Tara Marie Mortensen and Robert A. Wertz of the University of South Carolina documented that professionally authored images and images by amateur photographers were assessed in a survey with nearly identical levels of credibility, both on news websites and on Instagram. This was true even though respondents rated professional images higher in terms of authority and visual composition.
"People notice when a picture is professional, but they don't seem to care," McDermott, a former photojournalist, says. [Phys.org]

This study examines how the professionalism of a photograph’s authorship and presentational context influence the perceived credibility of the image using a two (photographer; staff or amateur) by two (image presentational context; news site or social media) quasi experiment. The small difference in how respondents rate the credibility of the images suggests that, broadly, participants in this study are willing to accept newsworthy images as credible on social media, and social media images as credible in the news.

The music festival attack was horrific & unforgivable. At the same time, NYT *explainer* map of the distance from the #Gaza perimeter offers practically causal information--about density and destitution versus water and greenery and all that land. #asymmeticalwarfare #new #visualjournalism #politics #Israel #Palestine

In 2021, 43 people boarded a small boat in Mauritania, hoping to reach the Canary Islands. Eleven of them came from the same, single village.
But the boat turned up on the Caribbean island of Tobago instead, 135 days later — a boat of death. And it's far from the only one.
Two years of reporting put names to the story — and helped at least some families find closure.

Tomorrow night @medium gem @lizadonnelly will again be "live drawing" the Academy Awards ceremony live on location in Los Angeles. Even if you have no interest in who wins, her remarkable color sketches of nominees and others are #visualjournalism well worth seeing. This story tells how to catch them and has a link to the "live drawings" of the 2020 ceremony that Liza posted on Medium, which gives you a sense of what to expect: https://medium.com/fan-fare/give-liza-donnelly-an-oscar-for-live-drawing-the-academy-awards-c4482e786fc7 #Medium #Oscars #journalism
I have collated the data from 365 days of war into this video. See how the battlefield in #ukraine has been shaped by #Putin and #Zelensky in this historic year.

For #VisualJournalism month we are sharing some of our previous cases. Today, we look back to when a Malaysian court dropped sedition charges against cartoonist Zunar, who faced 43 years in prison for 9 tweets he posted.

I remember reading (or should I say experiencing?) "Snow Fall" when it was published ten years ago. As a working web/UX designer and freelance creative lead, I was excited by these affordances of visual journalism but also intimidated, because the effort required serious collaboration by a crack interdisciplinary team.
Snow Fall doesn't look new now, but back then it was a compelling model of what could be.

@melaniesill @craignewmark @dankennedy_nu @mattcarroll @jeffjarvis @jeff @dangillmor @jayrosen_nyu Speaking of #VisualJournalism, There is also a cohort of #InfoGraphic journalists and #SND #NewsDesigner editorial types that are just as vital.
Sorry to be a pest. I launched #VisualEditors in 2004 to serve that community.
