The Illustrated War on Women

The Illustrated War on Women

by digby

BagNews Notes always does great work, but I particularly enjoy their salons with academics, visual analysts and photo journalists discussing how images shape the issues of the day.

Earlier today they did one about the War on Women that was just fascinating:

Host: Michael Shaw, Publisher, BagNewsNotes Moderator: Nate Stormer, Professor of Communications and Journalism/U. of Maine Discussants: Bonnie Dow, Associate Professor & Chair, Communication Studies and Associate Professor, Women’s and Gender Studies, Vanderbilt University; Janis Edwards, Associate Professor, Affilate in the Dept. of Gender and Race Studies, University of Alabama; Holly Hughes, Editor, Photo District News; Rita Leistner, photojournalist; Instructor, University of Toronto. Salons are produced by Ida Benedetto.

You can read the #BagSalon twitter feed for highlights. Great stuff.
