The Shifting Lens of Photography

Photography has evolved greatly from the early days of Kodak, to iPhones and Instagram. In the age of social media, sharing and crowdsourcing have been key to reshaping photo journalism – is it for better or worse? Join us at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 15 at NBC News in Rockefeller Center for a lively discussion.
