Dr. Walsh explores the value of the camera in bringing us the world in pictures. Speaking about two of her recent books, ‘Conversations on Conflict Photography’ and ‘Through the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter,’ Walsh addresses: what it means to cover conflict and crisis, risks and threats against the media, the merits of photojournalism, and the role of the public in consuming imagery.
