Why does IDIAP use the COIB Image Bank?

The visibility of professional groups in the media is often dependent on a type of image that provokes gender or social stereotypes. When a media tries to accompany a news item with an image that complements the written information, if it does not have a photograph that shows a detail of the news item, it will be forced to go to an image bank. It will therefore take a more neutral image that serves to give context to the news.
