Theater dialogue: image-driven society

Four themes, four real-world cases. Every newsroom faces similar challenges — and each finds its own way forward. In this theatre-style dialogue, we’ll explore what works, where the friction lies, and what we can learn from one another.

Smartphones have turned everyone into a photographer or videomaker, while platforms like TikTok and Instagram spread images at lightning speed. Government footage can be difficult to verify — especially from places journalists cannot access. So what is the added value of professional photography today? How do you deal with images from citizens or state sources? And how do you safeguard reliability in a image-driven society where everyone’s a photographer?
