The Reading the Pictures Salon is a series that examines how the media and social media visually frame the major news events of our day. An “aha" exercise in media and visual literacy, the Salon invites photographers, editors and visual scholars, and an accompanying audience chat, to analyze an edit of 9-10 individual images in a live Google Hangout.
Reading the Pictures is the only site dedicated to the daily analysis of news and cultural images. Launched in 2004, RTP is closely followed on multiple platforms (notably it’s own website, as well as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) by the news and visual media; the photojournalism community; university journalism, photojournalism and communications programs; and citizens interested in politics and visual culture.
