The PGB Photo Book

WHAT HAPPENS TO photojournalism when newspapers are struggling to survive, when readers are no longer prepared to pay for news? In the short term, documentary photojournalism is a terrible investment. Investigative journalism takes time; capturing a moment can take an eternity. Time is money, but one picture can be invaluable – and what is the priceto be paid if injustices are lost in the dark?Where will we find our information ifphotographers are no longer sent out into theworld? Twitter, Flickr, Youtube? Definitely, butnot exclusively. Photojournalism is bigger than asnapshot from the hip. Photojournalism is abouttelling a story, about discovering, investigating,educating, expanding knowledge and makingus ask questions. We know that pictures have, ifnot rewritten history, at least provided nuancesand information and helped to build opinion.A professional photographer can create thevisual quality and clarity necessary for a pictureto communicate. Something happens when thescope of a story, a destiny, a life, is captured in apicture. Can that picture change the world? No, butit can change a person – and that’s a good start..Jonas Lemberg, founder of The PGB Photo Awardjonas@thepgbphotoaward.com
