Photojournalism: A First Look
This week we are launching into a new style of photography and storytelling: photojournalism. We will give you our brief definition and some examples during our Zoom session this evening, but the links and resources listed below will help support our discussion.
Photojournalism is not only super accessible at this time, but the idea of documenting and sharing is perhaps more important right now, during a time of social distancing in a pandemic. Why? Well, because the stories and photographs that are made and shared now are bringing us together. They shine light on important aspects of today--of our world and our lives.
Please refer to section 2B for the rest of this story.
Okay...just a little newspaper joke for you.
More on this this evening in class! Until then, after then, and at your convenience, here are those valuable links:

Also, don't forget to be thinking of creative ways to document the HERE and NOW. For inspiration, don't forget local photographer Ivette Spradlin's work: https://www.instagram.com/evieknevie/
