The Photo Editors Series is a series of conversations with well-known photo editors about how they view the media today, the role of visuals in reporting, the work they like to see, and advice for photographers on how best to connect with publishers.
Hosted by David Campbell and Ilvy Njiokiktjien, the series combines an overview of the contemporary media landscape with practical tips. The editors speak as individuals rather than representatives of their organizations, and the event is interactive and offers good opportunities for audience questions.
In this thirteenth episode, we speak with Fiona Shields. She is an experienced picture editor who has worked across a range of newspaper titles. Fiona is currently the Head of Photography for the Guardian News and Media Group.
