Chatting the Pictures: Youth Take Center Stage
Everywhere you looked this week—from Stoneman Douglas High to the Florida State House to the White House to the conservative CPAC conference—young people took center stage.
That was the focus of this week’s “Chatting the Pictures,” our weekly 25-minute live stream discussion. This week, RTP’s Michael & Cara Finnegan discuss three standout photos by Ricky Carioti for The Washington Post, John Shinkle for POLITICO, and Amy Lombard for Vanity Fair. Enjoy the replay here.
We encourage your comments on the pictures and how you enjoy this unique analysis. Chatting the Pictures is a shortened, weekly edition of the Reading the Pictures Salon.
