[ecrea] New book: The International Photojournalism Industry: Cultural Production and the Making and Selling of News Pictures

The book “The International Photojournalism Industry: Cultural 
Production and the Making and Selling of News Pictures” is now out.


The book is pitched to scholars, graduates and advanced undergraduates, 
but also to a specialist audience. It would be great for undergraduate 
classes in cultural studies, communications, media and business studies, 
and to various photography and marketing degrees. And it is also 
suitable for various graduate programs in media, globalization, and 
international journalism, and to journalism and photography professional 
programs.

_Description_
How are events turned into news pictures that define them for the 
audience? How do events become commodified into pictures that both 
capture them and reiterate the values of the agencies that sell them? 
This book looks at every stage of the production of news photographs as 
they move to and from the ground and are sold around the world. Based on 
extensive fieldwork at a leading international news agency that includes 
participant observation with photographers in the field, at the agency’s 
local and global picture desks in Israel, Singapore, and the UK, 
in-depth interviews with pictures professionals, and observations and 
in-depth interviews at /The Guardian/’s picture desk in London, the 
findings in this book point to a wide cultural production infrastructure 
hidden from – and yet also nurtured and thus very much determined by – 
the consumer’s eye.
