I can only comment about our experiences over the last few years. The departure from broadsheet, cost-cutting exercises, fewer resources, fewer people, smaller books, faster pace, 24-7 newsroom, multiple platforms, internal changes from systems to editors, changes in readership behaviours and profiles, all these factors are part of the reality that we work in and we continue to respond and evolve with it – the pressure point is how to work effectively, grow and retain the quality as well as work with passion and integrity in this environment. There’s very little room to lament, there’s certainly no room for complacency, we focus on the quality of the photography that we produce, how we work as a team, how we remain engaged, creative and effective. Online and in print, professional photography produced by experienced news photographers who have been at the masthead for 15- 30 years, is a major asset and it is celebrated in and out of the newsroom. Herald photography is key to drawing readers into the story, broadening and deepening reader engagement. I do believe that it is our job to consider first and foremost what our readers want and they have high expectations of visual storytelling and are sensitive to how visuals are used. Their reaction can often be immediate and explicit.
