Photographic departments around the world are feeling the squeeze as news organisations cut costs and jobs. In an era of Twitpix and stock-image slideshows, professional photographers face competition from every smartphone and constant challenges to their copyright. But there’s no substitute for a professional photographer’s skill, timing and composition – and a still photograph can capture stories and intimacy beyond any other medium. There are still opportunities for photojournalists, and new models for supporting their work – and certainly no shortage of stories and moments to be captured around the world.

Joining Moderator Anne Davies, senior investigative journalist at the Sydney Morning Herald are:

Nick Moir, staff photographer for SMH.

David Dare Parker, Walkley award winning free-lance photographer.

Craig Greenhill, photojournalist at News Limited and multimedia specialist.

Andrew Quilty, Walkley winner of the young Australian photojournalist of the year and freelance photographer.

In Egypt, Al Jazeera journalist Peter Greste and others have been arrested for reporting both sides of the story – and this is getting lots of attention, as it should. But what of media workers in South East Asia being routinely punished for questioning authority or putting forward an alternative point of view?

In Vietnam and Myanmar, journalists, bloggers and human rights activists are routinely jailed for their reporting. In Cambodia, journalists reporting stories counter to powerful interests have been assassinated and in the Philippines, journalists are often killed for doing their work, making it one of the most dangerous reporting environments in the world. In Thailand, there's a culture of media self-censorship over the monarchy: websites discussing politics are shut down by the government and laws like lese majeste and the computer crimes act are used to intimidate and punish journalists. And in Malaysia, the public discourse is controlled by state-owned media, which allows for little real political debate.

Join the Walkleys for a talk featuring two of Australian journalism's leading international reporters. Zoe Daniel and Peter Lloyd share the experience of reporting from around the world.
