In the tradition of previous teachers of this class, I will use the same four basic criteria themes for evaluating individuals. Good visual journalism starts with thoughtful analysis, requires accurate documentation and ends with creative story-telling. The aim is to move people emotionally and intellectually.
Journalism is about communication.
Keep your teammates and me apprised. Accuracy is critical. Technology has broken the journalist free from the office but has made the journalist even more dependent on a network of support and cooperation. In today's marketplace, teamwork is critical to success. If you miss a deadline at a newspaper, you miss publication.
