The World Press Photo multimedia research project, supported by the FotografenFederatie (Dutch Photographers Association) reviewed the global emergence and development of multimedia in visual storytelling, especially photojournalism.
I was research director for the project, which ran from July 2012 to April 2013 and was conducted under the auspices of the World Press Photo Academy. The video above provides an introduction to the project.
The final report - Visual Storytelling in the Age of Post-Industrial Journalism - was presented at a lecture in Amsterdam on 25 April 2013.
The report was previewed in my interview for the Canon Professional Network and World Press Photo has a web page for the project with videos of leading multimedia producers who offer their own personal insights into the practice.
