Course description: COM229 - Photojournalism This is an introductory course in photojournalism that will touch on basic photography skills (composition, focus, subject, and angle), but is not strictly a photography class. This course will use two methods of learning: one is a hands-on, connected learning where students will tell stories through cameras and video; and another is a survey approach, through reading, discussion, lectures, journals, and multimedia presentations which illustrate photojournalism history and current trends. The class supports the college's minor in photography as well as the communication's department concentration in journalism and media writing. In an effort to make the course accessible to students from all departments across campus, the first few weeks of the class will provide readings, lecture, and discussion on the background and history of the journalism field. Interested candidates should upload a cover letter, resume, and the information of three (3) references using the forms on our website.

Review of candidates' submitted materials begin immediately; applications are accepted until the position is filled.
