Description:

4 Credits Prerequisite: ENG106 or equivalent This course is intended to help students recognize the universal visual language of photojournalism, its place in our history and the present, its aesthetics and ethics, and its impact on a media-saturated world. The course goes beyond, while recognizing the details of picture-taking, exploring the volatile history of photojournalism, the moral dilemmas it has created and faced, the synergy between photo and text, and ways in which still and video photography reveal, motivate, and inform us in an instant. Students will explore such issues through discussions, readings, videos, reaction papers, and a photo essay or research project. This course is recommended as well to non-Communication majors as an elective.
