The rise of social media has affected the world's endangered species, say American photographer Steve Winter and journalist Sharon Guynup. "The shortened attention spans have really affected the way people consume news and information," Guynup adds. This has shrunk the space for the kind of in-depth, investigative work they do.
And this worries them, because they have seen, over 35 years, how vital such storytelling can be, in driving change, altering public policy and shifting mindsets.
Winter, 63, an independent photographer, has worked with National Geographic for over two decades. He has been named BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year, BBC Wildlife Photojournalist of the Year, and has won multiple World Press Photo awards. Guynup, 66, an independent journalist, has won awards for her coverage of conservation science, wildlife crime, and climate change. She was also named a 2023 Changemaker by New York University.
