Georgian photojournalists and documentary photographers criticized the decision of the organizers of the World Press Photo contest to award TASS TASS Mikhail Tereshchenko. On March 27, World Press Photo called the winners of the annual competition, one of which was TASS photo correspondent Mikhail Tereshchenko.

His work called “Protestes in Georgia” with demonstrations against the suspension of European integration in Tbilisi won in the “Series of Pictures” nomination. “Awarding of a photographer that supports the Kremlin’s position is not only deeply contradictory for covering anti -Russian demonstrations, but is also a direct insult to those who risk their lives, opposing the intervention of Russia in the sovereignty and the future of the Georgia”. “The statement published on Instagram says. Photo-journalists note that during the Russian-Georgian War of 2008 and subsequently TASS“ played a central role in the spread of false information, depicting Georgia with an aggressor ”. Tereshchenko, according to them, in addition supported Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, calling him an act of “liberation”. “As citizens of Georgia, countries whose 20% of the territory is occupied by Russia, we have direct experience of war, moving and undermining our sovereignty. Protesters in the awarded series opposed the forces that TASS consistently protects. To tell their history through an agency that meets their oppression is not just contradictory is a betrayal of the fundamental principles of journalism, ”the authors write. They note that the World Press Photo is thus legitimized by the agency, known for the spread of misinformation. “This decision undermines independent media and enhances propaganda, and also allows false narratives to get wider recognition.” – The statement says. Tereshchenko is a photojournalist of the TASS agency, which is part of the Kremlin pool, military unit, as indicated on the site. In an interview with TASS, after his victory, he said that he had already participated in the World Press Photo contest in 2022 and sent there the “Rights of the Liberation of Mariupol in 2022”. “There was an active phase of the liberation of the millionaire city, the military moved, and we, journalists, with them. We went to a small team, which they themselves organized, ”he said. (Tagstotranslate) News
