A readers’ meeting at Fyens Stiftstidende in Odense this afternoon focussed on photojournalism. The newspaper had invited Peter Hove and Asbørn Sand – both prize winning photographers at this years Press Photo of the Year – to show their pictures and tell about their work. Asbjørn Sand is currently doing his internship at Fyens Stiftsttidende.
Søren Pagter, Head of the Dep. of Photojournalism at DSMJ also attended the meeting and told among other things about what makes a good photojournalist.
The two hour long meeting created a lot of debate among the readers – from a discussion on wether to choose local or national frontpage pictures to a discussion about using more creative and wild pictures in the local paper.
