Liberation: the power of Photography

[thebelbo]

Interesting twist today by Liberation: the newspaper decided to remove all images from its issue in-order to show the power and importance of photography (also coinciding with Paris Photo opening). They really paid a homage to photographers in the article, more here:

I found interesting some of the comments below as well,

I definitely like when "established" institutions do something radical and new like this

An interesting and bold act. I love Libe. They've often run great photography.

That's a bold idea, seeing the pages with the blank spaces really does have an impact.

Unfortunately in this day and age McDonalds removing the Big Mac from their menu would probably have more impact!

That ^ was cynical .... I need more coffee! 😀

Once the microphones tuned off/failed during an American Football game (TV), many people wrote in the 60s to say they had never enjoyed AF so much. I don't think that will be the response to this move.
