White House Internship Deadlines Coming Up

The internship application deadline for the White House’s fall 2013 session is coming up very quickly – Jan. 28, to be precise.

Were I young again, I would totally go for this. Regardless of your...

Required Reading?

I bookmarked this a while ago … (wait, does anyone “bookmark” things anymore?) … over at PhotoShelter, Lauren Margolis collected the best blog posts about photography from 2012. Suspect there’s a semester’s worth of reading in there …

Fact From Fiction

Markham Nola, the managing editor of Storyful.com, talks about how his organization uses online and social media tools to verify the authenticity of breaking news event reports from unknown sources. Some excellent ideas on how to cross-reference information to verify it. Is this a better system then having known reporters, with known agendas, on the scene? Probably not – but...

Five Tools for Your Camera Bag

C.S. Muncy lists five essential things in his bag for when he heads out into the streets. If every photojournalist out there collaborated on a list, you might need a Kamaz 43118 to haul it all around. Still, it’s useful to think about what others have found useful. (Thanks to Sean Elliot for the link.)

Gene Patterson has Passed

He was not a photojournalist, though he worked in journalism during what many consider to be the coming of age of our craft. He is not as well known as other civil rights leaders of his time, but his work is of equal importance because it was Gene Patterson, through the bully pulpit of the Atlanta Constitution, brought light to...

Another Eulogy for Kodak

I should probably stop posting these, the end times for my yellow memories is pretty near … but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has a piece up looking back at how Kodak influenced the growth of their staff over the years.
