On a recent morning, in the heart of Sri Lanka’s capital, about two dozen women journalists discussed ethics in photojournalism – the decision to photograph certain scenes of violence and tragedy, and how to do so with care. It was a reminder of the importance of creating spaces for journalists to connect and learn.
There aren't a lot of female photojournalists in Sri Lanka. It's a situation that women journalists are trying to change — by picking up cameras and shooting. As part of a five-year ICFJ program, the Sri Lanka Press Institute organized a workshop with photojournalist Jessica Rinaldi to empower female photojournalists and advance investigative journalism in the country.
