[ecrea] Image Brokers: Visualizing World News in the Age of Digital Circulation

Zeynep Devrim Gürsel has just published *Image Brokers: Visualizing World
News in the Age of Digital Circulation*(University of California Press 2016)

Set against the backdrop of the War on Terror and based on fieldwork
conducted at photojournalism’s centers of power, *Image Brokers* offers an
ethnography of an industry in crisis. At the turn of the 21st century,
image brokers—the people who manage the distribution and restriction of
news images—found the core technologies of their craft, the status of
images, and their own professional standing all changing rapidly with the
digitalization of the infrastructures of representation. From corporate
sales meetings to wire service desks, newsrooms to photography workshops
and festivals, *Image Brokers *investigates how news images are produced
and how worldviews are reproduced in the process.
