Weatherhead Forum / The Photojournalist as Witness

Tue., Oct. 6, 2026, 12 – 1:15 p.m.



Photojournalists are witnesses to the most intimate moments of humanitarian crises, exposing realities that authorities and the public would not otherwise see. The images they capture serve as documents of record—through a subjective lens—that inspire compassion and accountability. Join the discussion with three award-winning photojournalists from Bosnia, Greece, and the United States.

This session is open to the public and will be recorded. Registration is required for this Zoom webinar.
