#MigrantCrisis: A Phalanx of Police and Press In a Field, In Hungary

Watch this highlight clip from our recent salon: The Visual Framing of the Migrant Crisis. Produced by Sandra Roa, it’s a great example of our unique approach to reading photos.

In the clip, moderator Cara Finnegan, University of Illinois Professor of Communication; Glenn Ruga of Social Documentary Network; Shani Orgad, Associate Professor of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science; Anne Demo, Communication Professor at Penn State; and Michelle Bogre, Photography Professor at The New School Parsons discuss the role of the media and the police as they encircle a young migrant carrying a younger child as he struggles to cross a field in Hungary. The widely circulated photo was taken by Marko Djurica for Reuters.
