The Image Industry: The Work of International News Photographs in the Age of Digital Reproduction
An ethnographic investigation of key nodal points of production, distribution, and circulation of the photojournalism industry in its two global centers - New York and Paris. Given the myriad possibilities of "imaging" the world, particularly since the digital turn of the late 1990s, why are global news audiences offered such limited ways of seeing? In turn, how do the structures that shape these ways of seeing also shap1 ways of imagining the world?
