photojournalism              

photo college

                             
    We are visual creatures trapped in a verbal world.

While the college does not offer a photojournalism major, there is a photojournalism sequence. Comprised of JOUR3610 - Introduction to Photojournalism, JOUR3710 - Advanced Photojournalism (offered each fall) and JOUR5370 - Documentary Photography (offered each spring), students are introduced to the technical concepts of photojournalism as well as the storytelling and community building aspects of the craft. A special topics class (JOUR5990) varies in what it covers and when it is offered. Currently, it is a Multimedia Journalism course.

These are NOT photography courses - this is not an opportunity to express your inner self. We tell other people's stories. Stories that are socially relevant, stories that help communities develop. Stories that advance our understanding of the world we live in.

Links to the courses and class blogs are along the top. My primary blog is useful to all working journalists and educators who are interested in the changes to our industry. While certainly not complete, it is fairly comprehensive.
