PHOTOJOURNALISM

Course Description

This course aims to introduce the various aspects of telling stories via photography. Building on previous photography courses, it emphasizes the differences between photography and photojournalism. The course focuses on the development, features, pioneers and genres of photojournalism, and analyses how photojournalism has become an institutionalized part of journalism in general. The course content addresses the technological and aesthetic dimensions of photojournalism, the careers of important photojournalists, the impact of news photography, and the ethics of digitally manipulating news photographs. Special attention given to the rules and methods of cutline writing, which is complementary for both the photograph and story.
