“In its truest sense, photojournalism is an intimate passport into the lives of others. Done well, photographs can offer unique perspectives and cultural insights to people groups that may never otherwise meet face to face. Images can serve as a mirror to reflect who we really are as a society. They can also be a light for exposing uncomfortable truths or sharing inspiration. Photojournalism has the power to hold governments to account and even change the course of history. The power to influence the global conversation comes with the great responsibility to maintain honesty, fairness and integrity.”
