Current Affairs

Headline stories in newspapers and on international TV channels are always accompanied by photographs because they speak louder than words. Increasingly often, they’re used instead of them. This category follows the stories – the global and those on your doorstep – and invites images which freeze moments, capture key personalities and celebrities, mark the news of the day, week or month and turning-point events. Black and white photographs have a long reputation as the favoured vehicle for presenting current affairs, but today colour is accepted as an equally effective means of expression.
