This panel tackles how the war in Gaza has posed unique ethical, practical and emotional challenges for photojournalists. With Gaza under blockade and international journalists banned from entering, local photojournalists are forced to document the story while living it.
Samar Abu Elouf, a frequent contributor to the New York Times, embodies this dual role. She offers a personal perspective on what it means to be part of a conflict you are photographing.
Lauren Walsh, New York University photojournalism professor and specialist in conflict photography, brings her expertise on the history, ethics, and evolution of war photography. She will discuss how the war in Gaza has forced a rethinking of traditional practices and approaches.
Key questions include:
> How has the war in Gaza radically reshaped the practice of conflict photography?
> What are the emotional and mental health challenges for Palestinian photojournalists?
> Why is there reluctance by some newsrooms to publish graphic imagery?
> How do such differing global standards impact international perception and geopolitical endeavor?
This panel reflects a collaboration between organizations and individuals: Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism, New York University’s Gallatin Photojournalism Intensive, and an independent photojournalist.

Palazzo dei Priori (Perugia)
Il Palazzo dei Priori, o comunale, è uno dei migliori esempi d'Italia di palazzo pubblico dell'età comunale. Sorge nella centrale Piazza IV Novembre a Perugia, in Umbria. Si estende lungo Corso Vannucci fino a via Boncambi. È ancora oggi sede di parte del Municipio e, al terzo piano, della Galleria nazionale dell'Umbria. Deve il suo nome ai Priori, la massima autorità politica al governo della città in epoca medievale.
