The director of the magazine 5W, Agus Morales, participated in today\u2019s session affirming that journalism is, above all, \u201ca look because it is not the same to see than it is to look, and I believe that the media is increasingly losing the ability to look and this is something that should be recovered\u201d.<\/p>\n The photojournalist and award-winner of the 1st World Press Photo 2021 in the category of Contemporary Issues, Pablo Tosco, showed the daily lives of women in Africa in his photos; through his images, he exposed poverty, exclusion, inequality, wars and man as a result of political decisions that need to be changed.
