Photojournalism magazine?

[lindsay]

Back in the 70's I regularly read Life magazine, which was full of great photojournalism, covering a lot of the war in south east asia at the time of course. I was wondering what would be a good option nowadays for similar global photo-journalistic content?

I don't know about print mags but Reuters website is pretty good.

The Wider Image | The home for Reuters in-depth visual storytelling

And there's Life Force https://lifeforcemagazine.com/index.htm

Thanks, they look promising

Another one I've not looked at for a while, so not sure what it's like these days. https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/

The weekly "Top Shots" on the Radio Free Europe (RFE) site are worth a look.

For old news there’s:

Observer picture archive | From the Observer | The Guardian

Outstanding image from our photo archive along with the story that went with it

www.theguardian.com

Guardian group has others I think.

I was prompted by writing something about Larry Burrows, who shot for Life in Vietnam and whose work I admire, ditto Don McCullins war photography, but there have been others that then came to mind, so I started wondering about current photojournalism publications. I'll check out the ones suggested above, thanks.

New York Times / NYT Magazine are the ones the stand out, but US centric (understandably). Here's a recent photo essay and article I liked:

Three Years Into Covid, We Still Don’t Know How to Talk About It

Most Americans think they know the story of the pandemic. But when a writer immersed himself in a Covid oral-history project, he realized how much we’re still missing.

www.nytimes.com

They had some good long form essays on the 20-year anniversary of the Iraq war as well:

Opinion | 20 Years On From That Hotel Roof in Baghdad, I Know the Limits of My Trade

I learned that there is no such thing as an objective narrator in human conflict.

www.nytimes.com

NYT is behind a paywall but it's worth it imo.

In the UK, FT Weekend are my go to for photo stories, they're always commissioning interesting photographers.

An unlikely source would be newsletters - many photographers I admire and follow use Substack and they post long form journals every now and then

NYT uses lot of photos and many of their reports could be classed as photojournalism.

It is paywalled but a free subscription gets a number of free ’reads’ per month. Currently the subscription is £2 monthly for a year and this can be continued indefinitely by cancelling at each renewal.

By chance I’ve just come across:

World Wildlife Magazine | Archive | WWF

www.worldwildlife.org

The articles seem all to be photojournalism, though perhaps not what @lindsay was looking for.

Thanks. I'll have to dig deeper.

Thanks. I'll have to dig deeper.

Those three are well worth a read from start to finish, Interloper still gets updated every month and it's such a relief from scrolling through the likes of Instagram.
