A photojournalist is more than an artist capable of creating stunning images. The essential duty of a photojournalist is to bear witness to events, grand or humble, and create images to help others better understand the issues at hand. The best photojournalists combine a reporter's passion for information and storytelling with the ability of an artist to create captivating images by looking at the world through a different perspective. This combination of skills is intended to make the photojournalist's audience appreciate a world they might not otherwise know existed.

This class is focused on teaching the fundamental rules of composing good photographs and telling complete stories with still images combined with informative captions. The class also covers image editing and manipulation with Adobe Photoshop, in addition to the basic functions of a camera and an introduction to publication design principles and software.
