Made in Lambeth, Failed in Lambeth: The catastrophic Starmer project was born in the borough – and is now crashing down in humiliating fashion, thanks to Claire Holland’s latest bout of petty Labour factionalism

For twenty years, Lambeth Labour behaved as though the borough belonged to them. Not represented. Not governed. Owned.

#Photographer #AnnHermes has documented around 50 #newsrooms across the US, capturing the spaces and people endangered by the industry’s decline. Her passion project aims to highlight the importance of #localjournalism and the challenges faced by #journalists, often working in shabby surroundings with diminishing rewards. https://apnews.com/article/newspapers-newsrooms-photographing-media-f0d0939e04bb66f8d340f6f43df5bf5e?eicker.news #tech #media #news
She photographs local newsrooms before they disappear

Photographer Ann Hermes is fascinated by things that evoke a time gone by, or about to pass into history. Lately that's led her to spend a lot of time in newspaper offices across the country, particularly in smaller cities and towns where local news is endangered by the ongoing business woes of journalism. Her photographs dispel the notion that journalism is a glamorous profession populated by elitists. Often it's populated by people in ill-fitting clothes oblivious to the shabby offices that surround them, doing work they feel is a civic duty. Hermes has photographed 50 newsrooms, and she's halfway to her goal.
