FARC: Last days in the jungle? By Fabio Cuttica
After 51 years of often brutal conflict and three previous failed negotiations with the government, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebel group seems to finally be ready to give up their guns
Black Lives Matter by Bill Hackwell
These images were taken in cities in California but could easily be from any region of the United States. They offer a glimpse into what can only be described as an epidemic of state violence that targets primarily Black and Latino communities
Isle of salvation by Francesco Comello
Inhabitants of this hidden and silent community call it ‘Isle of Salvation’. Passing nearby, along the busy road leading from Moscow to Yaroslav, you don’t even notice it. Yet it stands as a unique spiritual, educational and cultural center in the whole Russian territories
East Side Stories - Moldova by Fabio Viola
The past 27 August, the small Soviet ex-republic celebrated its first 25 years of Independence; nonetheless, changes in what used to be “Russia’s fertile garden” are not so easy, especially in the rebel Transnistria, where the link with the past is still evident
DOC by Daniele Coricciati
The land, the sea and religion, these three ancestral elements which permeate the Salento. DOC is a journey through the faces, the shadows, the shapes, the people of this piece of Italy
Land Inc. by TerraProject
An accurate photo analysis by the photo collective TerraProject on “land grabbing”, from financial crisis to neo-colonialism, is the base of the new publication Land Inc.
Brixton Pound by Ivano Adversi
In Brixton, the famous London block, you can pay with an alternative currency, the Brixton pound. The initiative was promoted by the international ecological movement, Transition Network, which supports development of local communities
REST by Various Authors
Reprioritize, direct attention to visual perception, the non-verbal, as the first form of instinctive knowledge. This is the idea behind REST, paper magazine of photographs without words
The Fire Tamers by Stefano Milazzo
Nazarene and Pasquale Bruno, Angelo and Cosimo and still Nazareno said Zeno, like a circus family handed down from generations, the circus of nature between the beech trees and larch, the secrets and the arts of the fire tamers

MANIFESTO
Witness Journal comes from the experience of a journalists and photographers’ team, joined together in order to create a different and innovative project in the information system. Far from the standard business model, Witness proposes a different approach to information, according to many different points of view. It's a free, online monthly photo-magazine developed by an editorial staff and thanks to the contribute of professionist journalist and photographers, as well as citizen journalists.
Distributed for free via the Internet, Witness Journal tells small and big Italian and international stories through images by professional photographers and amateurs. Firmly open to the contributions of anyone, Witness offers to the authors a journalistic limelight where they have the chance to express their skills and to promote their works. At the same time we offer to our readers a different kind of information in compliance with many different aspects. First, we consider images, and not words, all-important. The stories told by Witness Journal are reported exclusively on the base of facts, that is pictures. The articles – written by the photographers in cooperation with the editorial staff – add extra information to the context Witness’ editorial line tends to give voice to events and local stories and above all to what we can hardly find on main stream information. Thanks to the net we get in touch with a network of co-workers on the whole Italian territory. A network of professionists and amateurs who have the chance to speak out, thanks to the digital world and to Web 2.0 phenomenon. Witness Journal wants you to listen to their voices.
