Introduction to Visual Journalism by Nieman Reports
The team at Nieman Reports have just put out their latest edition. It is all about visual journalism, with the theme of “Fresh Approaches and New Business Strategies for the Multimedia Age” I thought it would be of interest to this group.
Here is how the editor Melissa Ludtke describes the focus:
“Photojournalism is changing, propelled by newsroom budget cuts, multimedia possibilities, and the ubiquity of digital images. In Visual Journalism, photojournalists write about emerging digital business strategies and their efforts to expand the reach of their photographs online and on gallery walls. They also share ideas about how to fund projects of personal passion and societal value. Their words tell vital stories about how they do their work; slideshows of their photographs—exclusive to our Web site—and multimedia presentations convey their visual stories. Read and watch as the future of photojournalism unfolds.”
