General Admission

As AI-generated imagery has enabled the mass spreading of misinformation, the role of photojournalists in documenting reality is more crucial than ever. Yet the economic implosion of the media industry means that there are relatively few full-time positions left, even at major news outlets. Amidst this challenging landscape, how are photojournalists adapting to changing technologies, maintaining their careers, and covering the stories that deserve to be covered? &nbsp;To answer these questions and more, East Bay Yesterday host Liam O&rsquo;Donoghue will be moderating a panel discussion with several Bay Area photojournalists. Expect to hear an illuminating conversation on the ethics, logistics, and love of taking pictures for a living.&nbsp;Featuring:Amir Aziz, Bay Nature Documentary Photography Fellow and co-founder of Coyote Media CollectiveCharles Russo, SF Gate Senior Editor of Photography &amp; DesignJane Tyska, East Bay Times/Oakland Tribune photojournalistThis event is part of the closing reception for &ldquo;Visible Labor: The East Bay at Work,&rdquo; an exhibition of local photographers on display at Oakland Photo Workshop until May 24, 2026.&nbsp; This is a free event but we recommend pre-registering :)
