Thanks Rob – only just coming across this now via a link from an old New Tactics post; but it’s so spot-on in terms of the dilemmas and opportunities for visual media now in human rights. Thanks for your blog over the past year; it’s been an inspiring blog.

This is fascinating, and i love all the images you’ve gathered, and can’t wait to use some of them in training. I will read through your website and try to find more of these examples and campaign.

Excellent analysis, thought process and commentary. Thanks for this. It’s useful to me in my work and I’ll share widely in the organization where I work. We are also piloting a move towards opening up and facilitating communication among those engaged in our work rather than co-opting the voice of those that we work with and telling their stories/opinions for them. cheers.

Thanks very much Benjamin, much appreciated. I just wish bloody WordPress would allow me to format the text and pictures properly. Oh well…

Absolutely superb. One of the best analysis of humanitarian comms ever written. Bang up to date and giving food tho thought in the business. This needs to be widely read.
