TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to the World Press Photo Exhibition 2018. This lesson will help you understand more about photojournalism. We invite you to not only look at a photograph, but to actually see it, to think about what the photograph depicts and the story behind the photograph. You will think about how a press photo represents the news, how a photograph's meaning is influenced by its form, and the importance of press freedom.
The lesson is divided into standard questions and questions that prompt discussion. Fill in your answers in the empty spaces under the questions. Make sure you have a pen or pencil ready at hand. For questions that prompt discussion, allow others to finish their statements and listen to one another’s arguments. Have fun!

OF:
Velkommen til udstillingen World Press Photo 2018. Med dette undervis-ningsmateriale vil du lære mere om fotojournalistik. Vi vil opfordre dig til ikke blot at kigge på et fotografi, men at se aktivt på det, at tænke over, hvad billedet viser samt historien bag fotografiet. Du vil komme til at tænke over, hvordan et pressefoto viser nyhederne, hvordan et fotos betydning påvirkes af dets stil samt pressefrihedens betydning.
Materialet er inddelt i standardspørgsmål og spørgsmål, der lægger op til diskussion. Du skal skrive svarene under spørgsmålene og har derfor brug for en blyant eller kuglepen. Ved spørgsmålene, der kræver diskussion, skal I prøve at lade hinanden tale ud og lytte til hinandens argumenter.
God fornøjelse!

NIEUWS
01. News is something that almost no one knows about yet, which has just happened, or is still happening. For example, that one thousand refugees have just crossed the border or that the earth is still warming.
02. News is something that has major consequences for many people. That a densely populated area is suffering from extensive flooding. Or that war has just broken out.
03. The value of news is something personal and depends on how you are connected to an event. It can depend on the country you live in and on your interests. For example, a traffic incident could be published in a national newspaper, but might not be interesting for people in other countries.

The photograph above is news about something that has major implications for many people.
As a lot happens around the world, not everything can be broadcast everywhere and every time. Therefore, editors and news editors make a quick selection. Things they keep in mind during the selection process are for example diversity within news, significance, objectivity, national values and political protocol. Elements that are considered before the selection, whilst gathering the information, are for example the safety of the journalists. If an area is very dangerous, journalists might decide not to go there or editors decide not to send them. The news gives people a better view of the world, and makes them aware of social and political issues. The way the news is interpreted depends on the viewer, an aspect such as for example in what country you live in influences your interpretation.
The reason why photojournalists work in difficult environments (for example war zones) is to show the world what is happening in these areas, in the hope that people stand up and improve the situation.
The role of photojournalism has become more important over the past century. News sources have increased, and instead of only the newspaper there are a lot of other outlets such as television, news websites and social media. Photojournalism aims to visually record current events, both planned and unplanned events. Images taken by photojournalists can also be used as a visual documentation of history. You might have seen historical photographs in your history books.
One of the most important parts of photojournalism is truthfulness. It is important that photojournalists record scenes rather than creating or changing scenes. It is also important that they try to get the ‘full picture’. Digital photographs are processed, and contrast or saturation edits are allowed. However, photojournalists can not add or remove content from the photograph.
It is difficult to give an exact description of ‘news’. Three characteristics, of which news will always signify at least one, are important in regards to this:

JOURNALISTIK?
Hvad kan du se på billedet? Prøv at beskrive det så præcist som muligt.
Hvad tror du, der sker? Hvor tror du, det foregår?
Det er svært at give en præcis definition af, hvad nyheder er. Tre kendetegn er vigtige, og en nyhed vil altid opfylde mindst et af dem:
Ovenstående fotografi er en nyhed, der handler om noget, som har væsentlige konsekvenser for mange mennesker.
01. En nyhed er noget, som næsten ingen har hørt om endnu, som lige er sket, eller som stadig er ved at ske. For eksempel at tusind flygtninge lige har krydset grænsen, eller at kloden fortsat bliver varmere.
02. En nyhed er noget, som har væsent-lige konsekvenser for mange menne-sker. For eksempel at der er sket en stor oversvømmelse i et tæt befolket områ-de. Eller at der er udbrudt krig et sted.
03. Nyheders værdi er personlig og afhænger af dit forhold til begivenheden. Det kan have at gøre med det land, som du bor i, eller dine interesser. Trafikale problemer kan for eksempel blive omtalt i en landsdækkende avis, men er måske ikke interessante for folk i andre lande.
Der sker så mange ting rundt om i verden, at de ikke kan dækkes af medierne alle steder og hver gang. Derfor foretager nyhedsredaktører en hurtig udvælgelse. I udvælgelsesprocessen tænker de for eksempel over variationen i nyhederne, væ-sentlighed, objektivitet, nationale værdier og etiske regler. Samtidig med at man indsamler oplysninger, overvejer man også faktorer som for eksempel journali-sters sikkerhed. Hvis et område er meget farligt, kan det være, at journalisterne beslutter, at de ikke vil rejse dertil, eller redaktørerne kan beslutte ikke at sende dem af sted. Nyhederne giver folk et større indblik i verden og gør dem bevidste om sociale og politiske spørgsmål. Fortolkningen af nyhederne afhænger af beskueren. Det land, man bor i, påvirker blandt andet ens fortolkning.
Grunden til at fotojournalister vælger at arbejde under vanskelige forhold (for eksempel i krigszoner) er, at de gerne vil vise verden, hvad der foregår i håbet om, at folk så vil reagere og gøre noget ved situationen.
Fotojournalistik er visuel nyhedsdækning i forskellige medier i overensstemmelse med et journalistisk adfærdskodeks. Fotojournalistikken har fået en stadig mere væsentlig rolle i løbet af det seneste århundrede. Der er kommet flere nyhedskilder, så ud over aviser findes der nu også fjernsyn, nyhedswebsites og sociale medier.
Fotojournalistik har til formål at foretage en visuel registrering af aktuelle begiven-heder, både de planlagte og de uplanlagte. Billeder taget af fotojournalister kan også bruges som visuel dokumentation af historien. Du har måske set historiske fotografi-er i dine historiebøger.
Sandheden er et af de vigtigste principper i fotojournalistikken. Det er vigtigt, at foto-journalister registrerer begivenheder uden at forsøge at skabe eller påvirke dem. Det er også vigtigt, at de forsøger at få ’det fulde billede’. Digitale billeder bliver behandlet, og man må godt justere elementer som kontrast og farvemætning. Men fotojournali-ster må ikke tilføje eller fjerne indhold fra billedet.

When it comes to portrait photography, a photojournalist is allowed to help create the scene by asking the subject to pose in a certain way. However, they cannot change the face or the body, or say that the portrayed has a different name. Photographs of people are very important because they influence how people see themselves and how others, around the world, view them.
As there have been instances where photographers have not respected the rules of digital manipulation, and of truthfulness whilst taking the photograph, trustworthiness is now a very important issue.
Press photographers can sometimes tell stories that are not yet known to many people, and by doing so, teach us about the world we live in. They want to bring attention to the things that happen, so that we can take action and tackle these issues.
How do you think this situation has come about?
What do you feel when you see the photo of John Thompson being embraced? And why?
What effect does this photograph have on you?
Discussion Do you think John Thompson knew his photo-graph was being taken? Do you recognise the sign the man in the background is making? Do you think he knew he would be in the photograph and how this would come across in the media?

On 18 June 2017John Thompson is embraced in St Anthony Village, Minnesota, USA, after speaking out at a memorial rally for his close friend Philando Castile,
two days after police officer Jeronimo Yanez was acquitted of all charges in the shooting of Castile.
18. juni 2017 bliver John Thompson omfavnet i St Anthony Village i Minnesota i USA efter at have talt ved en mindedemonstration for sin nære ven,
Philando Castile, to dage efter, at politimanden Jeronimo Yanez blev frikendt for alle anklager om at have skudt Castile.
Når det drejer sig om portrætfotografi, må fotografer dog gerne sætte scenen ved at bede personen om at posere på en bestemt måde. Men de må ikke ændre personens ansigt eller krop eller sige, at personen har et andet navn. Fotografier af personer er meget vigtige, fordi de påvirker, hvordan folk ser sig selv, og hvordan andre folk rundt om i verden ser dem.
Da der har været eksempler på, at fotografer ikke har respekteret reglerne for digi-tal manipulation og sandhed, er troværdighed nu blevet et meget vigtigt emne.
Fotojournalister kan sommetider fortælle historier, som der endnu ikke er mange, der kender til, og på den måde kan de lære os om verden. De vil gerne gøre op-mærksom på de forfærdelige ting, der sker, så vi kan gøre noget ved problemerne.

Hvordan håndteres disse problemer i dit land?

EMOTION
A press photograph can conjure up strong emotions in the viewer. You may think:“ How awful! ”. Or: “ Wow, how beautiful! ” By calling on emotion, the photographer can gain the viewer’s attention. This can be a powerful method of telling a story.

Et pressefoto kan vække stærke følelser hos den, der kigger på det. Man tænker måske: »Åh, hvor forfærdeligt«. Eller: »Nej, hvor smukt«. Ved at udløse følelser kan fotografen fange beskuerens opmærksomhed. Det er en effektiv måde at fortælle en historie.

Photojournalism involves much more than war photography. An example of this is the photograph above.
Sometimes photographs can symbolise a larger story, which goes further than what can be seen in the actual photograph.
The woman in the previous photograph is shown taking care of a young elephant: the smaller story. A good press photograph, however, depicts more than what is simply shown on face value. A photograph can be a symbol for a larger story. The photograph in the previous photograph symbolizes the protection of nature and the environment.
What is the smaller story behind the photo above?

Fotojournalistik er langt mere end krigsfotografi. Ovenstående fotografi er et eksempel på det.
Sommetider kan fotografier symbolisere en større historie, som går videre end det, som man kan se på fotografiet.
Kvinden på billedet på forrige side aer en lille elefant: den mindre historie. Men et godt pressefoto fortæller mere, end hvad man ved første øjekast ser på bil-ledet. Et foto kan være et symbol på en større historie. Det foregående billede symboliserer for eksempel beskyttelsen af naturen og miljøet.

Why is it important for journalists and photographers to work freely in the countries they are reporting on?
How can you tell it was dangerous to take this photograph?
Despite the dangers involved, why do you think the photographer found it important to take this photograph?
Press freedom means that journalists and press photographers can report on all events without being obstructed, taken prisoner or killed. It also means that what they produce is accessible to everyone and that it can not be hidden by anyone, no matter how powerful it is
Anyone who takes a photograph takes form into account. In a selfie you want to show your best or most interesting side. Professional photographers are very conscious of looking for the right angle for a photograph, something also known as perspective.
A photojournalist must not set up a scene beforehand. However, he or she can choose whether a photograph is taken at close range or from afar for a broader scope. A photograph can be taken from above or below. There is also the choice of black and white versus colour. All these decisions determine how the event photo-graphed will be depicted. In the end, the photographer decides how you see the event that he or she has documented.
Press photographers and journalists sometimes risk their lives in order to show us what is happening in the world.

Hvilket indtryk får du af Nordkorea, når du ser på billedet?
Hvordan ville et billede fra Amsterdam eller Los Angeles være anderledes? Ville sådan et billede vinde en pris? Uddyb dit svar.
Pressefrihed betyder, at journalister og pressefotografer kan skrive og vise det, de vil, uden at nogen forhindrer dem i det, tager dem til fange eller dræber dem. Det betyder også, at det, som de producerer, er tilgængeligt for alle, og at det ikke kan skjules af nogen, uanset hvor magtfulde de måtte være.
Hvorfor er det vigtigt, at journalister og fotografer kan arbejde frit i de lande, som de dækker?

Alle, der tager et billede, tænker også på stilen. Når du tager en selfie, vil du gerne vise din bedste eller mest interessante side. Professionelle fotografer er meget bevidste om at finde den rigtige vinkel, hvilket også kaldes perspektivet.
En fotojournalist må ikke iscenesætte noget, men han eller hun kan vælge, om billedet skal tages som et nærbillede eller ved brug af en vidvinkellinse. Et foto-grafi kan tages oppefra eller nedefra. Man kan tage billedet i sort-hvid eller farver. Alle disse beslutninger afgør, hvordan situationen fremstår på fotografiet. Det er altså fotografen, der beslutter, hvordan du ser den begivenhed, han eller hun har fanget på billedet.
