What’s the power of a photograph? Can a single image affect and change global perceptions? What are the consequences of disseminating stereotypical images?
In the second episode of Global Press Passport, podcast host Kyana Moghadam invites guests to talk about the global images they observe dominating western media and pop culture, and how they’re working to combat stereotypes and influence more complex, global perceptions, through photography.
“Worth a Thousand Words” features guests Global Press team members from around the world, including: Country Coordinator and Senior Reporter in Mexico, Mayela Sánchez, Regional Program Manager for Africa and Senior Reporter in Democratic Republic of Congo, Noella Nyirabihogo, Senior Reporter in Nepal Yam Kumari Kandel, Lead Reporter in Zambia Prudence Phiri and Visuals Editor Austin Jacob Bachand. Along with the founders of Everyday Africa, Austin Merrill and Peter DiCampo, and Greta Scharnweber, the Associate Director of of the New York Universities’ Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies.
