Abstract

This Introduction to the Special Issue (SI) begins by discussing several risks, threats and dangers visual war journalists may be compelled to confront when performing the vital role of bearing witness, including ten specific imperatives of mediation. It proceeds to elaborate the conception of “visual war journalism” guiding the SI’s rationale and priorities, in general, before turning to examining in closer detail varied aspects of how ongoing conflicts in Syria, Ukraine and Gaza are being documented in visual terms, often under harrowing circumstances. Next, this Introduction offers a brief overview of each of its eight articles. It is the SI’s aim to foster dialogue and debate about visual war journalism’s trajectories today so as to encourage alternative, critical thinking about future prospects.
