INTERVIEWS WITH THE 2013 MULTIMEDIA CONTEST JURY
Members of the jury share their perspectives on the winners and the judging process.
An interview with jury chair Keith W. Jenkins, supervising senior producer for multimedia at NPR:
World Press Photo2013 Multimedia Contest 2012 Multimedia Contest 2011 Multimedia contest The World Press Photo archive- “What we see in the winners this year is a high level of sophistication. The entries were uniformly high in quality. This is an evolving field that each year should and does produce higher quality projects.”(Keith W. Jenkins)“For the jury, the major challenge is that the field is changing almost hourly, so figuring out what the ‘standard’ is, is a very ephemeral effort. You have to be able to articulate the specifics of what you’re looking for, but also be flexible and understand that it’s a process that’s evolving.”(Keith W. Jenkins)
- “With the Multimedia Competition, we are trying to do justice to what we see happening in the field. Our ambition is to inspire photographers to move forward and explore new territories. We want to challenge them to tell stories in a different, compelling way. Part of our mission is to encourage the highest professional standards in visual journalism and to support documentary storytelling in all its aspects. That’s why, amongst other initiatives, we started our multimedia contest."(Michiel Munneke, World Press Photo Managing Director)
