JOURN 113 - Photojournalism
Course Title
Photojournalism
Course Description
Photojournalism has played a critical role in democracy, showing the public unseen images from around the world; from conflict zones, capturing frozen moments in time that the public can reflect upon. In this course you'll gain the skills to identify and create meaningful, truth-telling visual stories. Students will learn about composition, lighting, framing, movement, and how to capture a story from a portrait and moment to moment. You’ll learn the tradecraft of photography, but more importantly, you’ll appreciate the role professional photojournalism plays in society, in the media ecosystem, and its impact on society.
