WooWho!! The Red & Black Goes Multimedia in a Big Way

Now, they’ve figured out some stuff … In Wednesday’s edition, they broke a story about a faculty member with a history of sexual harassment charges having been filed against him, dating back almost 20 years. They also created an infographic timeline that ran on page one. Online they posted the documents...

Meta Geek

As much as I try to be all about the story, I admit to being fascinated (in cycles) with the tech side of photojournalism and photography these days. Over on The Online Photographer, Marc Rochkind has a fascinating piece on meta metadata and what you can learn from it. Not going to do it myself, but, dude, that is so...

Rock Photographer Jim Marshall

Being in Athens, many of my students want to shoot music scene stories. There’s one guy who they should all study – Jim Marshall.
