ARTT-247 Photojournalism I

This course will focus on taking photographs with a photojournalistic perspective. A portfolio of images will be the end result. Types of photojournalism applications involve news photos, feature photos, sports photos, weather photos, humor photos, environmental portraiture, and the photo essay. Fundamental principles of photo journalism such as the history of photojournalism, freedom of the press, ethics in journalism, and the power of the image in society will also be addressed. This is NOT a writing intensive course; the emphasis will be on photography. A digital camera and basic computer literacy are required.
