PHOT 385 - Photojournalism Work Experience

Course Description:
Learners will complete a practicum work placement at a digital or print-based journalism, editorial, corporate, or non-profit enterprise. The practicum is an opportunity for learners to apply the skills they have learned in the photojournalism program towards a real-world employment situation where visual storytelling and communications are integral. With instructor guidance, learners are encouraged to seek their own work placements that utilize the many different photojournalism-based skill sets they have acquired over the past four semesters including photography, picture editing, writing, editing, videography, interviewing techniques, video editing, public relations, social media, layout and design, and many others. The learning benefit of a practicum comes from the experience of working in a real-world assignment/media environment, working alongside professionals in the field, and receiving feedback from the employer during and after the work placement.
