Six programs will be screened featuring around one hundred of the best stories produced by photojournalists over the past year. The reports sent in from so many different countries provide clear proof that the world has not ground to a halt. While the pandemic has turned societies upside down, and now stands as the major worldwide event of the early 21st century, there have been other crises, as seen for example in Myanmar, Nagorno-Karabakh, Ethiopia and Colombia where Covid-19 has not stopped the relentless course of events and conflicts. As is always the case, photojournalists have been present there, providing invaluable reports on these chapters in history. Their work is of course the result of talent and dedication, but we must not overlook certain outlets in the printed press and agencies which, despite an increasingly difficult financial situation, both in France and other regions, have continued to secure a reliable supply of fact-checked reports by sending their own journalists into the field.

  • Central African Republic Freedomhouse.Org
    https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/2015/central-african-republic#.VS_QSAn5uh0.cleanprint Central African Republic freedomhouse.org The political landscape of the conflict-torn Central African Republic (CAR) took a potential step toward stability in January 2014 following the resignation of president and Muslim military leader Michel Djotodia and the election of interim president Catherine Samba-Panza. Samba-Panza has no affiliation to any of the rebel groups involved in the conflict. Political instability, violence, religious cleansing, and the massive internal displacement of more than one million people in the ongoing conflict between the largely Muslim Séléka forces responsible for the 2013 coup and Christian militias known as anti-Balaka, who include supporters of ousted president François Bozizé, continued to worsen the country’s humanitarian crisis. In February 2014, UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon launched the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Central African Republic (MINUSCA), authorizing more than 11,000 UN troops to join the African-led peacekeeping forces already stationed in CAR since 2013. In July 2014, Séléka and anti-Balaka signed a cease-fire agreement, but implementation of the accord proved short-lived. Séléka military chief Joseph Zoundeiko ignored the cease-fire and called for a partition of the country along religious lines. In September 2014, the International Criminal Court (ICC) opened a probe into the CAR conflict, citing widespread incidences of rape, murder, forced displacement, persecution, and pillaging since 2012. According to the Associated Press, more than 5,000 people were killed from December 2013 to September 2014, and this is likely a vast underestimation due to the difficulty of collecting accurate data.

  • Women War Reporters' Resistance and Silence In
    WOMEN WAR REPORTERS’ RESISTANCE AND SILENCE IN THE FACE OF SEXISM AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE LINDA STEINER UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND. PHILIP MERRILL COLLEGE OF JOURNALISM. COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND 20742, EUA [email protected] RESUMO As mulheres começaram a fazer reportagens de guerra em meados do século XIX, cobrindo, entre outras guerras, as revoluções europeias e a Guerra Civil dos EUA. Com a Primeira e Segunda Guerras Mundiais e especialmente com a Guer- ra do Vietname, o número de mulheres repórteres de guerra aumentou ao longo do século XX. O seu número voltou mais recentemente a aumentar, quando muitas organizações noticiosas precisavam de jornalistas no Iraque, no Afeganistão e no Paquistão. No entanto, as reportagens de guerra permanecem amplamente consi- deradas como um campo dos homens. Continua a ser um campo altamente sexista. As jornalistas de guerra continuam a enfrentar condescendência, pseudo-protecio- nismo, desdém, comportamentos obscenos e hostilidade por parte dos seus patrões, rivais, militares e do público. São também sujeitas a violência sexual, embora sejam desencorajadas de queixar-se desses assaltos, para que possam continuar a traba- lhar. Esta investigação centra-se no sexismo e assédio sexual enfrentados por mu- lheres repórteres de guerra contemporâneas, com especial atenção a Lara Logan, cuja carreira demonstra muitas dessas altas tensões de género. PALAVRAS-chAVE Mulheres repórteres de guerra; sexismo; culpadas enquanto vítimas; violên- cia sexual ABSTRACT Women began reporting on war in the mid-nineteenth century, covering, among other wars, Europeans revolutions and the US Civil War. The numbers of women report- ing on war increased over the twentieth century with the First and Second World Wars and especially the Vietnam War.

  • En Hommage À Camille Lepage, Une Jeune Journaliste Française Tuée Pendant Un Reportage En Centrafrique (Médias)
    En hommage à Camille Lepage, une jeune journaliste française tuée pendant un reportage en Centrafrique (médias) ____________________________ Un prêtre catholique apporte des précisions sur les circonstances de l'assassinat de Camille Lepage Bangui le 14 mai Radio Sirriri et Kangbi-ndara - "Camille Lepage n'a pas été tuée à Galo comme le prétendent certaines agences de presse mais en pleine brousse". Telle est l'une des précisions apportées par un prêtre centrafricain officiant à Bouar sur les lieux et les circonstances de l'assassinat de la journaliste française Camille Lepage contrairement aux informations diffusées hier à ce sujet. "Camille Lepage était partie de Bangui via Berberati pour des reportages sur les antibalaka de la zone allant de Hamadagaza (sous-préfecture de Carnot) à Abba (Nana Mambéré). Le dimanche 11 mai, elle se rendait à Ngambia village situé à 135 Km de Abba pour la suite de son reportage escortée par des miliciens antibalaka. Camille se trouvait en position "fin de convoi" avec quatre antibalaka. Un groupe d’éléments de l’ex Séléka a ouvert le feu tuant Camille et les quatre antibalaka sur coup. Les ravisseurs ont emporté tout ce qui était appareils se et papiers par devers Camille et les quatre antibalaka. Les autres antibalaka ont rebroussé chemin, ont combattu durement avant de récupérer les corps sans vie de Camille Lepage et des quatre autres antibalaka, les prénommés Mokom, Sam, Blaise et Ali. Elle n'a pas été tuée sur le grand axe Galo – Baboua comme le prétendent certaines agences de presse mais en pleine brousse loin de Galo ", a publié le prêtre catholique, Toussaint Zoumaldé, sur sa page facebook après avoir passé toute la matinée de ce mercredi à la recherche des détails précis sur l'assassinat de la journaliste française Camille Lepage.

    e/th 30 Festival International du/of photojournalism photojournalisme PRELIMINARY 2018 PROGRAM July 6, 2018 PRO. WEEK 03.09 au/to 08.09 FESTIVAL 01.09 16.09 2018 30 YEARS, ALREADY! OR ONLY 30 YEARS? Flashback to 1989, to the very first Visa pour l’Image Festival. There were very few captions, or none at all, and no titles for the exhibitions. It was all a bit “cottage industry,” but there was great enthusiasm and dedication. The first evening shows in Perpignan, at the Palais des Rois de Majorque, were done with slides, and the moisture in the air with the heat from the projectors formed weird patterns of condensation. It was the first festival, but it was deemed a success. We felt that the idea could work, that there really was something to be done for all those people working in photography and the press. It was the heyday for photo agencies. We obviously needed to get bigger, and we did. A few years later, we’d reached the age of seven, the age of reason, and while a bit surprised that we were still around, the success continued. Then we made it to the 10th year, the 15th, the 20th, the 25th, and now it’s 30. Thirty years is not a full lifetime, but it’s a good half. First of all, thanks are due to those who have been here since the very beginning, and to those who joined us in the second year, and to all the others, all the teams and workers, and the loyal partners, both public and private, who have been with us for so long.
