Journalism Institute program to explore photography, trauma and healing June 5
Images take us into hospitals, grocery stores, even empty spaces to show us the impact of coronavirus on the people and places affected by the pandemic. Join Melissa Lyttle, an award-winning independent photojournalist, and Rosem Morton, a documentary photographer and nurse, for a conversation about photography and healing.
Register now to join this National Press Club Journalism Institute discussion, which will take place on Zoom from 11:30 a.m. to noon, June 5.
Lyttle is the founder of APhotoADay and GeekFest, a member of Women Photograph, an International Women's Media Foundation U.S.-Mexico border reporting fellow and grant recipient, the immediate past president of the NPPA, and an Eddie Adams Workshop alum.
Morton’s work has appeared in The Washington Post and The New York Times and on NPR and CNN. She is a National Geographic Explorer, producing visual stories that focus on the intersection of health, trauma and resilience.
The first part of this program will be a dialogue with Lyttle and Morton, followed by a Q&A with participants.
