What is Really Means to Be a Visual Journalist in the Digital Age: Creating Compelling Imagery That Tells the Story

Abstract

While photojournalists and videographers are dismissed from more and more news organizations, cameras are being thrust in the hands of print reporters who are told to do their best. But what does it really mean to use a camera in the digital age, when everyone has a camera or cellphone? How can a journalist with no real interest in visual journalism or understanding of the medium create compelling images or video that tell the story? In this session, we will explore the importance of visual journalism as a medium and help print reporters gain a better understanding of the skills needed to create strong visual stories–and help them hone these skills.
