Why We Matter Outside of Journalism

Andrea Jones (who bills herself as, “an ink-stained-turned-pixel-stained wretch,” which I love) tells us the Five Reasons You Should Hire a Photojournalist. To her five I’d add what Laurie Moot said in class last year: “Other people just aren’t as good at doing things as we are.” Which closely ties into Jones’ fourth reason: “Photojournalists are problem solvers.” And, really,...

Side Window, Windshield, Etc.

If you’ve never watched Rear Window, you should. But this has nothing to do with that. Monica Almeida has a post up on the New York Times’ Lens blog about shooting from her car. Another reason why you should have your camera with you all the time – you never know what you’ll see.

Football, with a Twist

My good friend Scott Bryant at the Statesboro (Ga.) Herald sent along a link to an audio slide show he did on the first Georgia Southern game of the season. He said he’d been asked to get more fans into the paper and didn’t want to do just another gallery of cheering people. But what do you think? Does it...

More Kodachromes from the FSA

Time.com has posted an audio slideshow of more color photos from the depression, complete with a simple narration that tells some of the back story. I know it’s silly, but it’s so darn cool …

Day in the Life: The White House

Okay, several days … but this time lapse piece of what events at the White House looks like is pretty cool. Reuters photojournalist Jason Reed spend a few weeks working on the idea and has strung together a set of images that paint an interesting picture of life on the White House beat.

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...

FDR in Photos

A nice collection from Time.com looking at how President Franklin Roosevelt used news photography to his advantage. Of course, Time has an (obviously) retouched image in there that they’re not saying anything about … guess I need to write them another letter.

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. Is it dead? No. Dying? Maybe – but it is...
