Journalists must not only know how to gather information and write stories and cutlines, but they must also have the confidence to work with pictures and layouts. Consequently, there is no required darkroom work. You will shoot all of your photojournalism assignments with color film, digitize your selects with a scanner, and complete your assignments using the computer. Specifically, you will learn how to use computer software programs to perform traditional darkroom procedures, create print-based picture story layouts, and develop online portfolios and interactive presentations. You will work the entire semester on a single picture story with other students to merge words and pictures in traditional and networked interactive multimedia presentations.
Assignments are in parentheses.
