Photojournalism

This text covers an introduction to photographic technique and the principles of photojournalism. It is a practical introduction to the subject with a liberal arts approach. There is a strong emphasis on the history, ethics, and legal issues associated with photojournalism. Advice and observations about real-life photojournalism are stressed through the words and pictures of contemporary practitioners. Four question and answer sections present interviews with photojournalists from The Philadelphia Inquirer, National Geographic, St. Petersburg Times, and New York Newsday. Chapter two is devoted to an in-depth look at the newspaper, The Sacramento Bee.
