🎙️CatchLight and The Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant Present:
When Seeing Might Not Be Believing, truth, trust and the future of visual journalism
Saturday 16 May 2026, 6:30–7:30pm

A panel conversation with Ari Abelson, Krishna Sheth and Anastasia Taylor-Lind, moderated by Emma Blau FRSA, with an introduction by Erica Garber. The discussion addresses how visual journalism operates under increasing pressure from AI-generated imagery, accelerated news cycles and declining public trust, focusing on the processes of selection, verification and authorship in contemporary editorial practice.

The talk brings together perspectives from photojournalism, picture editing and AI development to consider how authenticity is defined and maintained across global news reporting, alongside the institutional and ethical frameworks shaping the field.
