World Press Photo 2025: Press Freedom, Resilience & space for hope (#109)

In this episode, I talk with Mariana Rettore Baptista, Curator and Exhibition Manager at World Press Photo, about the urgent theme of press freedom. We explore how the current World Press Photo Exhibition in Vienna highlights resilience, dignity, and the challenges journalists face in defending freedom of expression.
Mariana shares how powerful images and stories resonate with global audiences, fostering dialogue on democracy, human rights, and the vital role of photojournalism in today’s world.
