Norma Burke says rule requiring PPI members to be ‘full-time’ press photographers earning 80% of their income from editorial work discriminates against women
A photojournalist has accused the professional body for press photographers in Ireland of making it “disproportionately” hard for women to join and of harbouring a “jobs-for-the-boys attitude”. on Thursday, the claimant, Norma Burke, accused Press Photographers Ireland CLG of acting as “de facto photo Freemasons” and said she was belittled and dismissed during correspondence with one of its male members.
She further alleges that “belittling”, “dismissive” and “gendered” remarks were made to her in reply to her inquiries about the membership process in August and September last year. The organisation required its members to be full-time photographers to uphold “the standards and the standing the organisation has”, she said.
