MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE :
In the world of news and journalism, we are used to receive stories through the combination of text and image. If it is a breaking story, an interview with a public figure or a long read covering a wide topic, image and text play together. Looking at ex- amples throughout history, the images are often in black and white. Jürg Wittwer and Jessica Holom states in their book, Talking through Pictures: A Be- ginner’s Guide to Photojournalism that; “Technology has evolved. Coloured photos have replaced black- and-white ones” (Holom and Wittwer 2016, 6). However, black and white photography still occur in contemporary journalistic publications.
Looking at newspapers and magazines today, the use of black and white may vary. This thesis will explore the mechanisms behind how publications and photographers view black and white pho- tography and what role it plays in contemporary journalistic publications. Furthermore, if there
are any guidelines for when it is being used and if there are, who is in charge of this. Through case study analysis and interviews with contributors to this field the goal is to gain an understanding of what mechanisms or reasons lay behind the choice to use black and white. This thesis intends to be useful for editorial designers, photographers and also people working visually within journalistic publications.
