Stock photographers produce many of images we see in the news nowadays. They only receive feedback from the organisation that purchases and circulates their images. Together we can change this! 💪🏻
Let us know what you think, and we will tell them. What you like to see, and what do don’t like to see? The images are for you after all!

The audience is always in the mind of data journalists. The creators of charts and graphics are anxious of appearing patronising, boring, or worst of all misinforming. For some content creators, ‘simplicity’ is the gold standard for good communication with audiences. Do you agree? Are you scared by numbers 🤯 What would you like to say to these creators of charts and graphics? Tell us and we will tell them 🗣

UK government ‘Rethink. Reskill. Reboot’ campaign, Nov 2020.
As has been detailed by commentators ever since its publication, the image was cropped and taken out of content in a grim post-pandemic world that has little time or space for the arts 🩰. The campaign suggests that young people should reconsider their creative dreams and be more realistic about their future. What do you think 🤔 Let us know!
