Northern Short Course Updates

I’m writing and shooting a bit for the National Press Photographers Association’s web site as I attend the Northern Short Course. Great event so far, but exhausting … my head hurts.

When We Struggle to Report On Our Own …

I think we’re in trouble. Carlos Miller, who runs the Photography is Not a Crime blog on Pixiq, is a bit of a controversial figure in some folks eyes. He has been arrested by police multiple times while doing his job as a photojournalist. So when the Miami Herald ran a story about him being arrested during Occupy Miami protests...

UGA Career Week

This is a long, long post, so it will continue after the break … While we believe that a university education should prepare you more to be a productive member of society than for a specific career, we understand there’s a need for that latter directive.

It’s an excellent (if, admittedly, ridiculous) question. If you recall, The Telegraph stole an image from Jonathan Kent a while back and, when caught, said: Our industry therefore adopts the stance that if a picture has no overwhelming artistic value and if there is no issue of exclusivity (ie it is already being published online or elsewhere) then no reasonable...

It Ain’t Broke, So Why Fix It?

David Jacobs is the Publisher of the Boston Courant, a weekly news organization with 40,000 subscribers. But I can’t link to it because, even though he founded the company in 1995, he hasn’t put it on the web. That’s right – no Twitter, no YouTube channel, no web site. Nothing. The only way to read it is to order up...
