The Death of Photojournalism (Part 217)

Ahh, it must be a Monday, because someone is writing about the Death of Photojournalism. It seemed for a few years that this headline popped up in the trade and mass market magazines about every six months. Now, it’s about every seven days. Is my beloved photojournalism in trouble? Yes.

Bound to Happen, I Suppose

So, there’s this whole legal wrangling going on about Shepard Fairey’s Obama poster – the Associated Press claims the illustration is based on one of their photographs. Except now the photojournalist who actually took the photo is claiming it isn’t AP’s – it’s his. This should be fun …

Reuters Handbook Now Online

While many of our word colleagues are excited about the public release of the Reuters Handbook of Journalism, I wouldn’t expect many to start deviating from the more widely used Associated Press Stylebook.

So, are you ready to be a freelancer?

It’s a tough market out there – everyone has a tight budget, but, really, if you do this one at a discount, next time we’ll get you the right price … oh, how many times has the working creative heard that? Thanks to Jon-Michael Sullivan for passing this along. And, to those of you hiring photographers, think about how silly...

New locale, new look, same students

This is the start of a new blog life – the University of Georgia’s Photojournalism program is on the move. While I don’t have any regularly scheduled summer classes, I am teaching a Maymester course centered on video journalism for the web. The students have been in the field for the last few weeks shooting and are now in-house, storyboarding...

Fisheye on CNN

CNN has apparently modified a Flip camera with a fisheye lens and is giving you – yes you! – a tour of their work space. Nice to see they’re using technology to save journalism … (Okay, that was pretty snarky, and it is kind of cool …) Embedded video from CNN Video
