Mini Micro Stock?

The must-read blog, A Photo Editor, put up a post yesterday that is not an April Fool’s Day joke about Getty Images sending out a note regarding sub-penny royalty payments. Reaction 1 – A joke, right? Must be. Reaction 2 – How in the world are they licensing images for less than a penny? Reaction 3 – Taken from the...

Cal Whipple Has Passed

His is not a name many of us know, but his work during World War II in ending military censorship changed the way we understand wars. David W. Dunlop at The New York Times wrote the story about how Cal Whipple went up the chain of command to get George Strock’s photo of three dead Americans published. Mr. Whipple and...

I want to give Alex Garcia at the Chicago Tribune an award. A plaque, a statue, name a bridge after him, something, anything, as a token of thanks for his latest Assignment Chicago blog entry. This has become a must-read for everyone of my students. And I think maybe every student of journalism, everywhere. The thoughts are not necessarily new,...

Six Questions You Should Ask

Okay, so this is coming off of a PR website, but it’s still an excellent string of questions you should ask on your next job interview. We all spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to answer questions, hoping that will convince the person on the other side of the table to hire us. What many don’t...

Still Focused, and Focusing, After 45 Years

Nice piece about Richmond Times Dispatch photojournalist Bob Brown online today, who is coming up on 45 years of shooting at the same paper. And it’s not a retirement story, either – the 75 year old is continuing on. (Thanks to Donald Winslow for the link.)

Sneaking Into Iraq, Ten Years Ago

Yunghi Kim has a story up on National Geographic’s site about her efforts to get into Iraq at the start of the war a decade ago. I hesitated before posting this because a casual read may encourage others to try what she did, to cause others to believe this wasn’t as difficult or harrowing as it probably was. With a...

Notes on Book Publishing

Yesterday, we had our second annual Business of Visual Journalism symposium here and one of our speakers, Laurie Shock from Shock Design, left a copy of her presentation to share. Since I had a lot of requests, I’ve posted it online. I did pull out a lot of the images she used because of some copyright concerns as well as...

Wow … Well, At Least They’re Honest About It

How would you like to get your work critiqued by professionals in an online chat session? Sounds pretty cool, just hashtag them on Instagram or Twitter and yours might get selected for a review by your friends at The Wall Street Journal. Just, you know, pay no attention to the disclaimer that is longer than the announcement and that tells...

Are We Losing Photojournalism?

Yes, that’s practically a link-bait headline … but it mirrors one on an EPUK column by Graham Harrison titled The Year We Lost Sight of What Photography Can Achiece. If you haven’t read it yet, you must. You cannot read anything else about photojournalism nor even discuss it’s current state until you read that. Because, based on the we we...
