Casualties of War: Do You Move It? Do You Run It?

The Associated Press has come under a lot of fire this past week for moving an image of a mortally wounded American soldier in Afghanistan. The soldier was hit by a rocket propelled grenade in August and the wire service held the image until this past week. They were not being censored – it was their decision to hold it....

Reporter's Guide to Multimedia Proficiency

Okay, I admit I haven’t read this as a whole, but I read all of the pieces as Mindy McAdams, Flash Goddess, posted them over the last year or so. She’s now compiled a 42 page PDF of her advice on stepping up your online journalism game. Given the thoroughness and inventiveness of her past work, this is a Must...

Whoa, Journalism Costs Money?

I guess I’m bitter to the point of trying to be ironic … but, regardless, here’s another assessment of where journalism is and how it’s, well, expensive to do, this time from Mother Jones magazine. Because make no mistake: This is a zero-sum equation. Less journalism = less accountability. Corruption, nepotism, cronyism, and propaganda thrive when reporting dies. That’s not...

Sneaking in a Radical Moment

I try to keep this about photojournalism/visual journalism/multimedia journalism and, occasionally, a bit of humor. If you’ve sat in my classroom, though, you know I’m concerned about journalism in general and journalism education at a pretty high level. To say I’ve bruised my brain while beating my head against a brick wall from time to time would be an understatement...

CoPress on the Web Centric Newsroom

A while ago I posted a link to a CoPress piece on innovation in the newsroom. Which was very fancy, but sort of light on specifics. Turns out, that was just the start – their second piece is now up and it talks about thinks to do and change in your newsroom. The Web-centric newsroom from CoPress on Vimeo.

Other Orange Moments

Every now and then, Mindy McAdams, Flash Goddess, writes something that makes me want to go enroll at the University of Florida so I can take her classes. Of course, then I realize that my University of Georgia colleagues would execute me on Grady College’s front lawn and my alma mater, the really cool (okay, mostly frozen) Syracuse University wouldn’t...

CoPress on Innovation

A little video that tells us … well, a lot of what we already know. It does reinforce what we should be doing, though, which is handy. I do wish it listed some ideas on things to try … it’s like you’re doctor telling you to exercise more. Um, okay … but where should I start? A Case for Innovation...

The Mexican Suitcase Unveiled

Lost for years, some of the negatives of Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour found in the “Mexican Suitcase” are starting to be shown. Oh, how I’d like to see the whole set …

Rural Health Care in North Georgia

Over the last few months, the students in Documentary Photography have been working with students in Prof. Patricia Thomas’ Health and Medical Reporting class to look at health care issues in the rural counties around Athens. A few moments ago, the final package went live on The Grady Journal. Working in teams, 22 students produced eight videos, eight audio slide...
