Photojournalism
This workshop is designed for students who will serve as photojournalists or photo editors for a student media staff. Some photography and Photoshop experience is highly recommended. Participants learn how to cover events, make environmental portraits, shoot action photos and make photo stories. Consequently, students who complete this workshop should be prepared to produce sports photos, feature photos and news photos for student media at their schools. This session emphasizes the reporting skills needed by photojournalists and the best practices used by professionals.
We recommend photojournalists bring a digital SLR camera with manual override. If one is not available, they may borrow one from The Media School.
