Most discussions about the future of journalism give little explicit attention to the place and purpose of visuals, especially photojournalism. While it is commonplace to acknowledge the importance of images in the presentation of journalism and the attraction of compelling pictures to the audience is recognized, the voice of visual journalism is not readily heard in the current debates. In the age of synthetic media, with the proliferation of generative AI and its capacity to produce increasingly realistic photographs, this silence needs to be overcome.
This panel will discuss how and why visual journalism needs to be elevated in contemporary discussions, the danger that synthetic visual media poses to the power of images to document events and issues, and why generative AI is likely to increase media organizations’ reliance on authenticated visual content.

Sala della Vaccara
La Sala della Vaccara si trova nel lato nord del Palazzo dei Priori, nell’area ove sorgeva l'antica chiesa di San Severo. Fu realizzata attorno al 1339 ed è stata sede del primo archivio comunale. La sala si presenta con volte a crociera e costolature e al suo interno rimangono brani di affreschi raffiguranti santi protettori dei traffici commerciali e delle attività artigianali. Sulla parete di fondo è collocato un distacco di affresco raffigurante la Madonna con Bambino e Santi di Tiberio di Assisi (Scuola umbra del XV Sec.).
