专业概况

Do you enjoy telling stories about people? Are you interested in using your skills as a photojournalist to make a difference in your community? Then Western Kentucky University's Photojournalism program may be the right place for you.

We appreciate your interest in our program that has produced students who have jobs across the country, from small-town communities to metropolitan newspapers. Our students have won the William Randolph Hearst national photojournalism championship 19 out of 21 years and win numerous awards every year in the College Photographer of the Year national competition. Our graduates have covered international events in Afghanistan, Iraq, Taiwan, Haiti and other locations. Five of our graduates from three different newspapers (The New York Times, the Rocky Mountain News and the Dallas Morning News) have been a part of winning the Pulitzer Prize in the last several years. Rick Loomis, a graduate who works for the Los Angeles Times, was named the National Press Photographers Association Photographer of the year for 2003.

Ours is a documentary photography major, with a curriculum designed to prepare students to produce content-driven images for paper and electronic publications. Four faculty and one staff, all of whom spent several years working in the photojournalism field (and continue to do so) serve as mentors to students to help develop their photography, writing, design and multimedia skills.

Specific objectives are to:

• develop the artistic, technical, and personal qualities of those who pursue a professional career in photojournalism
• develop a background for understanding the role of photojournalism in shaping and reflecting contemporary society
• provide instruction in photographic theory, principles and practice for the student in any area of scholarly pursuit where such knowledge is needed to improve understanding and abilities
