This terrain can be especially tricky for visual journalists, whose imagery may end up containing symbolic messages whose meaning the journalists themselves do not immediately understand. In this session, we'll hear from Columbia Journalism School professor Nina Berman, VICE journalist Tess Owen & documentary photographer Glenna Gordon, who have substantial experience grappling with these issues as they cover extremist groups. In the process, we'll explore such questions as: What makes an event newsworthy? When should extremist imagery be edited or reproduced? And, How can journalists best educate themselves about the amplification tactics of these groups?
