Photojournalism Grand Commission

In 2021, as part of the France Relance plan, in order to support the photojournalism profession particularly hard hit by the health crisis and its economic consequences, the Minister of Culture has been asked to implement a major photographic commission entitled Radioscopie de la France: regards sur un pays traversé par la crise sanitaire. This commission, managed and coordinated by the Bibliothèque nationale de France, selected 200 photographers.
