Time to learn cool stuff!<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Welcome to King's Klass Blog! </span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-1330059038082180653" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 626px;"><p>I'm excited for another semester of training students to learn multimedia and writing skills you'll undoubtedly use in just about any media or marketing job.</p><p>I'm very aware my classes are mixed with freshman and seniors, experienced and non-experienced, and introverted and extroverted. With that in mind, I try to take my time ensuring that most of you get a concept before we move on. To speed the process along, I rely on more experienced students to help me with that goal because sometimes you, as a fellow student, can get a point across better and faster than me.</p><p>One new aspect I'm excited to add this semester is using free source textbooks for <b>UToledo's Media Writing class</b>! That means they don't have to buy a book. Because the assignments are a mix of legacy journalism, broadcast and public/relations writing, I've searched the web for book sources that will be specific to the topic taught.</p><p>I want you to know that no instructor or experienced professional knows everything. Nobody is perfect, so I welcome input from you when I need it. Don't hesitate to correct me when I'm wrong, off base, confusing or whatever. It's going to happen, trust me. I don't like the word <i>perfect </i>for that reason, so I discourage the use of it. </p><p>What I do encourage is just doing the best you can do. Failure is a part of life, and I've gotten where I am today because I've learned from my many failures. Instructors have made lots of mistakes throughout their professional and educational lives, and we should openly and freely admit that.</p><p>My classes are on the complicated side because they are so technical. You'll learn all about camera operations, editing software, writing tools, and so much more, and that's not easy. So, please have patience with me, yourself and others as we tackle each assignment, especially if I tackle AI! That will be a new topic I will have to add .. soon.</p><p>In my experience, the students who end up failing or not doing well throughout the course are the ones who just stop trying or showing up, but I will encourage you to not give up. I have a 'leave no student behind' philosophy because when I was a student I had instructors and fellow students who didn't give up on me. I had great bosses and coworkers throughout my career who were patient, kind and understanding when I struggled. Thanks to them, I'm able to pass that philosophy forward.</p><p>Thanks for reading this, and I hope you have a great semester!</p></div>Lori Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05436963556028128084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822461819013051789.post-45612788713561556912023-01-11T13:39:00.012-05:002024-01-09T11:41:16.190-05:00Photojournalism is more than just pretty pictures ... it's hard work<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dear photojournalism students:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span>Let me start by saying this: Journalism is hard work but experienced journalists make it look relatively easy.

Let me assure you that there's a limited chance that you will become a strong image maker in just four months ... but it’s a start. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span>This class also gives students a basic knowledge of their ethical and legal boundaries and </span>responsibilities, and that's just as important as making the image<span>. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">My goal is to expose you to a different way of thinking and seeing. This course gives you a starting point, and through experience you will improve along the way. Some of you won’t go any further than what you are forced to do here. But some of you will take what you’ve learned and expand on it, and, hopefully some day, share your honed skills with the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">You need to know that it took me <i>years</i> to develop my writing, photography and audio skills, so throughout the semester I expect you to make mistakes, get confused, become frustrated and have panic attacks. All I ask is that you do your best with the limited tools you currently have.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">So, in your future, when you fall down, get back up and try it again. Keep striving to learn more, do better, continually educate yourself every step of the way. I’m learning all the time, even at my age, and I still fail.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Photojournalism is an honorable civic duty that is pretty much a calling. Sure, it’s tough out there right now – newsrooms are being taken over by greedy hedge funds that only care about profits and power. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">But your generation should fight back because without a free, robust press, we wouldn’t be America – we wouldn’t be free to expose corruption within our government and business community. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">We wouldn’t be able to educate the masses about important issues like global warming, voting and civil rights, diseases, etc. etc. That’s our job, as journalists and photojournalists.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Throughout this semester, I want you to post your assignments as if you were a working journalist. Your website was built to be your portfolio and to showcase what you’re capable of. So, I really hope you continue to post on your social media well after this class is over.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Remember this: If you have AP style errors, misspellings, bad punctuation, weak story leads and crappy photos throughout your posts … well, I wouldn’t hire you, and neither will anyone else.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Again, photojournalism is more than pretty pictures ... it's hard work but well worth the effort.</span></p></div>Lori Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05436963556028128084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822461819013051789.post-62009138641067995252023-01-06T10:53:00.012-05:002023-01-11T13:40:22.650-05:00Teaching photojournalism: New year, new textbook, same enthusiasm<p><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is another year and a new semester, and I couldn't be more excited about getting back into the classroom and back to the roots of what I know - photojournalism. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">I've been teaching photojournalism for more than a decade, and have had to adjust to small and large changes in technology and career expectations over the years.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>One of the three biggest changes</b> is requiring students to shoot assignments with a smartphone camera. I really struggled with that change, but it has come to the point when most students don't have access to a DSLR/mirror camera. However, every one of them has a phone with a camera, so they all are able to participate in creating real photojournalism assignments that will be a part of their visual portfolio. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although smartphone photography is a directive, I still teach the basics of photography: ISO, shutter speed and aperture controls. I also encourage students who have DSLR cameras to use it for at least one assignment, as long as those cameras have manual mode. Students need to be able to shoot completely on manual so they control light, depth of field and motion. As for the smartphone, they are required to download the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/yamera-manual-camera/id951399974">Yamera app</a>, or any app that allows them to control the camera settings on their phone. They need to understand how photography works, no matter what kind of camera they use.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">There is now an expectation that, at some point in their journalism or communication career, these students will provide their own visuals. In the old days, we either worked with visuals or words. Unions rules, for the most part, kept our skills separate. But those days are gone, and now even audio reporters at NPR are shooting/producing videos and TikToks to tell their stories.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Speaking of TikTok, <b>the second change</b> is that I've added that platform to the curriculum. Even though the <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/north-dakota-iowa-join-other-204140654.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall">U.S. Senate</a> is working to ban federal employees from using TikTok on their government-owned devices, it's still a very important, influential platform. I've been teaching TikTok in the advanced classes for several semesters now, but it's time to add it to the photojournalism classes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the social media platforms I considered removing from the curriculum is Twitter. With the new ownership of Elon Musk, Twitter is not as respected and trusted as it used to be. Claiming 'freedom of speech' issues, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/15/media/twitter-musk-journalists-hnk-intl/index.html">Musk has made dangerous, authoritative decisions to censor the press</a> and promote disinformation in the name of 'free speech.' </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpNOJtlBjiMRojuLWrz7s33oymq20bhTeegs-cn-SIpTxxmBDNlTV7JzUAI3y4iirD3wO_CuElzhTjcIDz379rT4PAskrBBJbzaHGNV5O_8O3JGU-IynEgvzH5beq1_8ttAMYOcJqR8ZE1ALLlRA8KMcTG8T5CD2PGkD9vKLIN0CoAZMnY8NOKaJ6vAA/s4032/IMG_4153.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="509" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpNOJtlBjiMRojuLWrz7s33oymq20bhTeegs-cn-SIpTxxmBDNlTV7JzUAI3y4iirD3wO_CuElzhTjcIDz379rT4PAskrBBJbzaHGNV5O_8O3JGU-IynEgvzH5beq1_8ttAMYOcJqR8ZE1ALLlRA8KMcTG8T5CD2PGkD9vKLIN0CoAZMnY8NOKaJ6vAA/w382-h509/IMG_4153.jpeg" width="382" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">However, I still think it's an important way to engage, crowdsource and share content. In fact, I often use Twitter to search for journalists whom I want to have as guests on my two podcasts. Despite the diminished trust of that famous <a href="https://indianacapitalchronicle.com/2022/11/04/debating-the-blue-checkmark/#:~:text=If%20anyone%20can%20buy%20a%20blue%20check%20mark%2C,speech%20%E2%80%94%20as%20with%20Louis%20Farrakhan%20in%202018.">blue checkmark</a>, and other concerning issues, I have decided it's too important to ignore. </span><p></p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last but not least, <b>the third change</b> is ditching my favorite, longtime photojournalism textbook, <i>Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach</i>, 7th edition, last published in 2016. Though much of the information is still relevant and timeless, like the two chapters dedicated to law and ethics, it's just too outdated for the modern world. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The title of the new textbook says it all: <a href="https://www.routledge.com/Multimedia-Storytelling-for-Digital-Communicators-in-a-Multiplatform-World/Gitner/p/book/9781138332560">Multimedia Storytelling for Digital Communicators in a Multiplatform World</a>, by broadcast journalist and journalism professor <i>Seth Gitner</i>. It was just published this year and covers more than just the photojournalism field, like visual storytelling in entertainment and strategic communication. I can use that book for my other multimedia classes: integrated media at the University of Toledo, and fundamentals of new media and journalism and new media at Wayne State. One book for multiple classes - that's a big savings for students who take more than one class with me.</span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Because I'm only teaching three classes this semester (I taught four the past two semesters), <i>photojournalism</i> and <i>visual communication</i> and UT and <i>digital photojournalism</i> at Wayne State, I'll hopefully be able to write more posts on lesson plans and instructional how-to stories on this blog, so please subscribe! </span>Lori Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05436963556028128084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822461819013051789.post-76063566126343026332022-08-29T08:10:00.006-04:002023-01-10T08:19:25.688-05:00Welcome to the 2022 Fall Semester at UToledo and WSU!<p>Ready, set, go! </p><p>This blog will be an important supplement to the other resources you'll need to accomplish your assignments. I'll be posting content, like videos and podcasts, to help you quickly navigate through those resources. </p><p>Because I'm an adjunct instructor, I'll be teaching at two universities this semester: <b>University of Toledo</b> and <b>Wayne State University (Detroit)</b>. By posting content regarding all four of my classes, you'll be able to view what other students are learning.</p><p><u><b>University of Toledo</b></u></p><p>The two classes I'll be teaching at UT this semester are Communication Principles and Practices (COM 1010) and Integrated Media (COM 4330). </p><p><b><i>COM 1010</i> </b>is for students at the Toledo Early College High School. Though they all are high schoolers, the class will primarily be the same as the class UT students take. </p><p>Communication is a function that's essential to living in a very fast-paced, complicated, technological world. In a nutshell, you'll be developing important communications skills, including how to write a professional email and speaking to an audience. Strong communication skills will help set you up for success in all you do, personally and professionally, and I can't wait to help you develop those skills.</p><p><i><b>COM 4330</b></i> is a multimedia course that includes journalism-related storytelling skills.</p><p>A few of the assignments include podcasting, writing journalism-type stories, photojournalism, videography, and TikTok. The best part? Students will use their smartphones to get the job done.</p><p>The class is basically a mini newsroom, and the students will work as a team to cover the UT community. That means none of the assignments are 'fake' or made up. They'll actually go out into the community and do real-world multimedia reporting. </p><p>This can seem to be very intimidating for shy people. But we start out simple and work our way out of the classroom, not covering an assignment until they're ready. They get lots of moral support from me and their fellow classmates!</p><p><b><u>Wayne State University</u></b></p><p>The two classes I'm teaching at WSU this semester are Digital Photojournalism (COM 2280) and Journalism and New Media (5500).</p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwOn9EdZMykRaYsEwQN4EePyQncBiYHKNbGV9OWrzJn-YeoqhSqPSKttLLfNN0cE8TC1K9zk2r8g5Ur8IhQWFyvySz7QGe7M61iRkYRIa50EqL4jWwH3K_9e20L_3-laExOjyXq7zooMaKUI4SHSCo4MhZG-6WrRcGbefSN8i1_9Z8r1i5aD_lQEX0NQ/s1819/Picture1.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1347" data-original-width="1819" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwOn9EdZMykRaYsEwQN4EePyQncBiYHKNbGV9OWrzJn-YeoqhSqPSKttLLfNN0cE8TC1K9zk2r8g5Ur8IhQWFyvySz7QGe7M61iRkYRIa50EqL4jWwH3K_9e20L_3-laExOjyXq7zooMaKUI4SHSCo4MhZG-6WrRcGbefSN8i1_9Z8r1i5aD_lQEX0NQ/w380-h261/Picture1.jpg" width="380" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Spot News (By Lori King/The Toledo Blade)</i></td></tr></tbody></table><b>COM 2280</b> is a traditional print-type photojournalism course that covers the basics of photography, composition and capturing 'the moment.' <p></p><p>In the past, students were required to use DSLR cameras, but because of the quality and ease of smartphone photography, I've eliminated that requirement. Students are now required to use their smartphones for photography and videography, though they can use their DSLR/mirrorless cameras if they have them. However, manual mode must be available in those cameras. </p><p>Even though most of the students will use their smartphones, I'll still be teaching the fundamentals of photography: ISO, shutter speeds and fstops. Basic knowledge of how a camera works is still important because smartphone cameras still use those settings.</p><p><b>COM 5500 </b>is an advanced journalism course that's a part of the New Media minor. </p><p>This is the second time I've taught this course (I'm a substitute for the primary instructor who is on sabbatical). During the first time (fall 2021) I subbed for her, I basically went off the original curriculum. However, I've redesigned the course for this semester, with her permission.</p><p>The primary change is adding a textbook: <i>Mobile and Social Media Journalism: A Practical Guide for Multimedia Journalism</i>. This class builds on what students learned in digital photojournalism and fundamentals of new media, which I taught last semester.</p><p>Students in this course use all of the skills they've learned so far and combine them for a single story. In other words, when they cover an event, for example, they'll write a story, take still photos or video, do an an audio clip, and post the package on their social media platforms. This course prepares them for 21st Century newsrooms, which require reporters to 'do it all.'</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p>Thanks for reading, and please stay tuned for more stories and training material that can only be found here!</p><p><br /></p>Lori Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05436963556028128084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822461819013051789.post-59504114815085629762021-10-07T14:19:00.010-04:002023-01-10T08:19:59.242-05:00Guest speakers offer tips, advice, inspiration to UToledo students<p>Today was a good day for me to take a back seat and let others drive.</p><p>My guests appeared via Zoom, considering they were in Columbus and California, respectively, and the students were in person.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9tFxc3Umlh4/YWAsqxVtxAI/AAAAAAAAB7s/aH0iB3DRAyg0w3quLq5T18W8VEPwYOzVgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2922.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9tFxc3Umlh4/YWAsqxVtxAI/AAAAAAAAB7s/aH0iB3DRAyg0w3quLq5T18W8VEPwYOzVgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2922.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I invited Josh and Tom to take the reign in my classes because it's always a good thing for students to hear from professionals in the field. Guest speakers give them a different perspective of what's out there in the real world, and how we all end where we are by taking different routes throughout our lives. Both guests were engaged and inspiring, and I've included their presentations in this blog post.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">First up was Columbus Dispatch photojournalist and Ohio News Photographer president <a href="https://joshuabickel.com/">Josh Bickel</a>. If you pay attention to the news, you might recognize one of his most famous photos which went viral in April 2020.

So imagine my panic when it was shortened by three months. But don't worry .. it shall be done.</p><p> A few changes I made include combining assignments and shortening assignment deadlines. What won't change are these assignments:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>defining and developing social media </li><li>mobile-first journalism</li><li>podcasting</li><li>visual storytelling (still and video)</li></ul><div> This course is designed to cover the basics of creating and producing audio and visual journalism, but we'll also discuss how to teach it in your classrooms. Not only do I hope you'll learn a thing or two, but taking these KSU courses will help remind you of what it's like to be a student again. There's nothing more humbling than facing your own homework pressure and deadlines!</div><div> This class was primarily built for high school teachers, but it's also beneficial for journalists already working in the field and just want to hone or learn a new skill. In fact, I took this class myself when I was in this KSU master's program, which took me five years to complete. </div><div> One more thing: Even though I'm the instructor, I'm looking forward to learning from you, as well. There is no doubt in my military mind that all 16 of you will teach me (and each other) something new. That's the beauty of posting all of your assignments on your websites - why invent the wheel when we can all share what works in our classrooms and newsrooms.</div><div> Can't wait to chat with you via BB Collaborate Ultra during our first evening of class on July 15!</div><p></p>Lori Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05436963556028128084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822461819013051789.post-48620811733101188772020-09-10T13:28:00.007-04:002020-09-17T15:14:27.940-04:00Where and when a photojournalist can shoot<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> This is a great guide for knowing where and when to take photos as a photojournalist.

That is the question. </p><p> My photojournalism class at the <b>University of Toledo</b> began Aug. 17. I sent out an email asking students to speak up if they didn't want to be taught in-person. I only heard from three students, and they didn't mind coming to class. So there you are ... I met them all face-to-face, with masks on. </p><p> My safety plan for the first day was to break up the class in half. Half of the class arrived the first half of the class, and the rest came the second half. However, I've been assured by the chair of the communication department that the room is safely set up for all 18 students. I trust that's true, but for the sake of my fear factor, I played it safe on the first day. It also gave me a chance to ask the entire class that question, and then determined our future fate together. All but one opted to have class in person.<br /></p><p> As a Toledo Blade photojournalist, I'm out and about in the community every day. I've covered several covid test sites, and even was in the fridge at the morgue to document the testing of a deceased man due to possible covid. </p><p> We photojournalists are a hardy bunch and not prone to succumbing to our fear. That said, I wear my mask everywhere, and disinfect my hands and gear often. I'll be especially vigilant in the classroom, because my number one priority is safety. I'm well aware things can change any day, but I'm prepared to teach virtually if I have to. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HEKZo5oI46k/XzpzxZZ4PwI/AAAAAAAABz4/ATS9pa_fY88NqdMpflYT8y0_66o-laHHwCPcBGAYYCw/s2048/IMG_0303.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="My home office" border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HEKZo5oI46k/XzpzxZZ4PwI/AAAAAAAABz4/ATS9pa_fY88NqdMpflYT8y0_66o-laHHwCPcBGAYYCw/w320-h240/IMG_0303.jpg" title="My home office" width="320" /></a></div> It's a different story at <b>Wayne State University, </b>where I've been advised to teach that photojournalism class online. After all, Detroit is an early hotspot, so I'm happily obliging. <p></p><p></p> I've equipped my home office with a whiteboard mounted on the wall so I can lecture as if I was in the classroom. The university also has given us access to Splashtop, allowing students to remotely access the software that's on the MAC computers in the classroom: Photo Mechanic, Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro. <p></p><p> My Visual Storytelling class at <b>Owens Community College</b> is also in person. However, I'm co-teaching that class with Blade colleague Phillip Kaplan. He will be the instructor in the classroom, and I'll be behind the scenes - setting up the coursework on Blackboard, updating the syllabus, grading the assignments, etc. </p><p> It's Phillip's first class as an instructor, so I welcome him to our wonderful world of education. There is nothing more fulfilling than passing on our knowledge to the next generation!</p><p> This is a year of uncertainties, for sure. But like I tell my daughters (one who attends UT, and the other is leaving for Ohio State on Wednesday), facing and overcoming adversity makes us stronger in the long run, and life is a marathon. </p>Lori Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05436963556028128084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822461819013051789.post-15267262237546228372020-03-29T12:07:00.004-04:002020-03-29T12:13:50.015-04:00NPPA hosts Facebook Live town hall meeting on COVID-19 precautions<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

Dear students,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Let me begin by saying if was a pleasure to meet you all in person. I know that sounds weird, but there it is. We can no longer take that wonderful, valuable in-person communication for granted. Some of you I might see soon, but others I won't … Sigh.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Because of precautions taken to limit the spread of the coronavirus, my classes have either went online for at least two weeks, or are finishing out the semester online. Rather than write four separate emails, I'm addressing plans for each of my courses here in one single blog post.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Fortunately, all of you are accustomed to me sharing everything on Blackboard/Canvas. That will make it easier for you to understand my online instruction moving forward. The following are positives regarding your course going online:</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
There are no more tests. So you don't have to worry about that.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The rest of the assignments can be done using your smartphone, if need be. That means you won't have to worry about getting access to the technology in the classroom. If you do need/want Photo Mechanic, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Adobe Elements/Premiere, you can get a free 30-day trial!</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
You are already accustomed to submitting your assignments online anyway, on your website and social media.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I'm going to break down how each class will run during our mandated online course instruction period.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<i><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Online teaching method for the remainder of the semester.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
This means we will communicate online until at least April 6, which is when our first day back in class is scheduled. I'll go in and modify the due dates and instructions within the next few days.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Podcast assignment:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
- For those of you who have already recorded your podcasts, hang on to the files and you will produce them when we get back to class. However, if you have software at home, or want to get a 30-day trial of Adobe Premiere Pro, or try the free version of Audacity, then go for it. I have tutorials on this blog. I can also help talk you through it. I've already emailed you the intro, outro and music file.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
- If you have not recorded your podcast yet, you have two options:</div>
<ol>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Wait until in-person courses at Owens resumes, then schedule your podcast with your guest and Herbey, or …</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Use your smartphone audio app or other recording device and interview a person of your choice on a topic of your choice. It can be on any subject, and with anyone. Maybe talk about how this stupid virus is interfering with our lives!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
- You can all wait to produce the podcast show during class, if we come back. If we don't come</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
back, then I'll address that issue at that time.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Feature photo story assignment:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
-You will have to change your story subject, obviously, considering on-campus stories are off limits for now.</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
So, you have two options:</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
shoot a photo story of your choice, and produce it using your smartphone editing apps. You can actually do this entire assignment on your smartphone. There are still events going on around Toledo, as long as they involve fewer than 100 people. But this depends on your comfort lever. I won't force any of you to go out in public if you don't want to, or ...</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Wait until we get back to campus and do your original plan.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Know that deadlines will be moved back to accommodate these trying times.</div>

- You might have to change your story subject if you planned on covering something on campus. But there might be other things to shoot off campus, like pet adoption centers, unique restaurants, etc. Think outside of the box, and do something unique that will lend itself to visual variety.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But seriously, I’m
super excited and honored to introduce a new course in the University of Toledo’s communications
department called Integrated Media, which is basically mobile
journalism (MOJO). As defined by <a href="http://www.mojo-manual.org/understanding-mobile-journalism/">Mobile
Journalism Manual</a>, MOJO is <span style="background: white; color: #111111;">a form of digital storytelling where the
primary device used for creating and editing images, audio and video is a
smartphone.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the future
of journalism, and the future is now.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Toledo Blade reporter Brooks Sutherland gets his MOJO on.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> In the summer of 2018 I was struck with the idea to teach this course because most Toledo Blade journalists are now using their phone cameras to shoot video stories. They literally stand right next to us photogs, both of us shooting our subject at the same time. This leaves no doubt that it's time for university journalism programs to prepare its students to walk into newsrooms ready and able for MOJO. </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> In full disclosure ... I first resisted the idea of journalists doing the job of photojournalists. After all, <i>we</i> are trained for visual work, not most of them. Many of us have photojournalism degrees, or at least a photography background. <i>We</i> have a trained eye and understand camera operations, but not most of them. </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> But these days that doesn't matter. Regardless of visual experience, journalists in newsrooms across the country are handed a smartphone and told to replace us. </span>I dare say the quality of the content certainly suffers. And I question whether it's fair to either of us. But it doesn't matter, because that's the way it is these days.<br />
So, my ultimate goal for this course is
to help students develop a MOJO frame of mind, and to guide them along as they construct and maintain a MOJO workflow for their smartphone storytelling. By exclusively using their smartphones to create and
produce native content to disseminate on social media, they will hopefully learn
to trust their phones for visual and audio content. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> During the first week of class the </span>students set up a website, and linked Twitter and Instagram to it. YouTube
will be added later. But before they start to put their work out there for the WWW to see,
they will first learn to be responsible MOJOs by learning their ethical and
legal boundaries, their copyrights, and, of course, the First Amendment. They
will also learn AP style caption writing, and about audience engagement and analytics.<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because this is a
new course, I will have a learning curve, as well. I don’t typically shoot stories
with my smartphone (iPhone 8) because I don’t have to. I use my Canon
5Ds and a Fujifilm X-H1 on most assignments, particularly when shooting sports.
Let’s face it, the smartphone is definitely not cut out for replacing long,
fixed lenses. However, there are times when I use my phone camera, particularly for breaking news. Timeliness is the key in those situations.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> That said, </span>I need to practice
what I teach, so last week I shot a simple, short video story on my iPhone (except
the actual interview was recorded on my Fuji because I needed an external mic). That story is below:<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EHnsjU92Nb4" width="600"></iframe>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you tell it was
shot on a smartphone camera? Can you tell the difference between the moment
clips and the X-H1 interview? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although I edited
this story on a MAC laptop using Adobe Elements Premiere, I am teaching myself to edit on
my iPhone using iMovie. I must be able to pass what I learn along to the students. But let's be real here ... many of them will actually teach me a few things! Yes, I expect to learn from them,
as well, which is why I consider this class to be ‘collaborative.’<br />
So, stay tuned to see how this course develops in the next few months!<br />
Thank you, UToledo, for this great opportunity!</div>

will eventually, over time, never know what it’s like to hear those rustling
pages and smell that distinct odor of a daily newspaper. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> D</span>uring the first day of my Wayne State and
Owens Community College photojournalism classes last week, I took an
unofficial poll on the subject. I asked how many of them actually read a
printed newspaper, or even bought one. As you can guess, maybe 2 percent said
they did.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">For that very reason,</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> the first assignment for both classes was to buy a newspaper (either the Detroit News, Detroit Free Press or Toledo Blade) and identify the elements (flag, byline, refer). When the WSU students turned in their newspapers Thursday for grading (it's a part of the history lesson, believe it or not), a few told me they felt weird buying a newspaper. One student even said the clerk who sold her the paper looked at her funny. I guess it was an odd occurrence for a young person to actually buy a newspaper. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> The reading habits of </span>our youth, truth be told, gives us a glimpse into the destiny of
newspapers. They are growing up in a digital world, and prefer the tiny screens of their phones, and having content in their pockets, accessible anytime, anywhere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was just a matter of time, I suppose. Sigh. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> I remember being totally dismayed when the <a href="https://www.mlive.com/ann-arbor/">Ann Arbor News</a>, owned by Advanced
Publications Inc., boldly cut its print edition down to just two days a week on
July 23, 2009, ending a print run after 174 years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The <a href="http://owensoutcomm.com/">Owens
Outlook student newspaper</a> went completely digital half a decade ago. As the
faculty adviser to the Outlook, I was forced to embrace that move, because it
was much cheaper for the college, and, let's face it, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the
bottom line</i> is what’s driving this national trend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Full disclosure here: I actually read
both digital forms of The Blade (eBlade and NewsSlide) six days a week, and not the hard copy. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A few years ago, during a particularly frigid winter, I ignored my printed newspaper in the mornings, opting to read the eBlade on my 27" MAC instead. So, after some deliberation, I decided to help save the forest and cancel my hard print edition, except for Sundays. I still get the Sunday newspaper, and I look forward to those mornings when I walk down the driveway, pluck my paper stuffed with ads out of the paper box, sit at the dining room table and drink a cup of coffee as I rustle those pages.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Three ways to read the Blade:</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><b>The
eBlade</b> is an electronic PDF form of the newspaper that's, and it’s cheaper than the hard copy and free to those who subscribe to
the printed newspaper. It hits the digital stands about midnight.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><b>NewsSlide</b> is a free mobile and iPad app that's exclusive to The Blade and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Though the app has some of the same stories that's in the printed edition, it also has original content produced just for this platform. NewsSlide is just a little over a year old. Just like the eBlade, it comes out once a day and is not updated.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://toledoblade.com/"><b>toledoblade.com</b></a> is the website, and it's constantly being updated with stories that run on the eBlade, NewsSlide and breaking news.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> There is a paywall for digital access. You're permitted so many free glances, but after that, it locks down.</span></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I begrudgingly encourage our dear readers to begin accepting digital newspapers, because corporate ownerships give us no choice. Unfortunately, it is our present and our future. I simply can't imagine a nation without printed pages of newspapers. At least now we have an option. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> Consider this, though - yes, the way newspapers are disseminated is
changing, <b><i>but not its content</i>.</b> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #cccccc;">Local newspapers are more important than ever,
and our free, democratic society will always and forever need journalists to educate and
entertain the masses, shine the light on corruption, and report on our heroes.</span><o:p></o:p></span></blockquote>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That said, I urge you to never give up on newspapers, no matter the platform, because our democracy depends on them.</span></div>

To be everything we are expected to be in the eclectic world of journalism.<br />
Consider the following job description for this Tennessee newspaper, posted in 2015:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Chattanooga Times Free Press is seeking a talented multimedia reporter to fill a digital storytelling position. A good candidate must be able to incorporate video, audio, coding and writing to create high-quality experiences for sophisticated online audiences.</blockquote>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Say what now? Coding for a sophisticated audience? My first thought was wondering how coding fits into a journalist's toolbox. Isn't it enough to write the stories, take the photos, produce the videos, and share it on social media? We also have to post it on the website, and design the layout, too? Then what would our website people be responsible for, if not collecting our stuff and disseminating it to the masses?<br />
My second thought: Does this mean we have to be sophisticated ourselves?<br />
The job listing continues:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A

comfort level with social media, still photography, video, website

will be put to use during major news events, when multimedia
reporters will be expected to offer our audience a different
perspective on current events, as well as in enterprise and projects
work, where a multimedia reporter will be expected to tell original

Hey, podcast creation and production is missing off this list! They clearly haven't thought of everything!<br />
I was so struck by that mega skill list that I used it as my lede in a 2016 story I wrote for the National Press Photographer Association's magazine, <i>News Photographer</i>. The story focused on job hunting for recent college grads, and I wanted to prove (via that job posting) that newspapers are certainly seeking applicants that can do way more work ... for less pay (in many cases).</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">When journalism students and English teachers tasked to teach journalism begin their journey into media writing, there is a steep learning curve on how to write things. For example, there should not be a comma before the word <i>and</i> when making a list of three or more things: oranges, apples and grapes (correct for AP); oranges, apples, and grapes (correct for APA). So subtle yet so important. That little change is a hard habit to break, but break we must! </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text1;">You may be instructed, in some classes, to
write papers in MLA or APA Style. Good news: You <u>don’t</u>
have to use those styles for most beginning journalism classes, and definitely not in my photojournalism and multimedia classes! Don’t confuse <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>APA</u></b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>AP</u></b> — they <u>aren’t</u> related. APA – the American
Psychological Association – developed one of the primary styles in which
academic (scholarly) papers are written. An instructor or professor may ask you
to use APA or MLA (Modern Language Association) Style, or possibly the style
set forth in the Chicago Manual of Style for scholarly papers, but <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>those have NOTHING to do with news-style
writing.</u> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text1;">AP – Associated Press – is the most widely
accepted style used by people who work in media, public relations, communications
and related fields. Why do we need a specific style? For CONSISTENCY, so
readers aren’t confused or annoyed by seeing things spelled, abbreviated or
capitalized two (or more) different ways in the same article, or in two
different places on the same website. The AP Stylebook says its goal is “to
provide a uniform presentation of the printed word, to make a story written
anywhere understandable everywhere.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text1;">Generally, AP Style specifies the SHORTEST,
SIMPLEST way to write stuff. It originated for newspaper writing, to save
space, time and keystrokes. (Originally, it saved typesetters a LOT of time in
days when each letter, period and comma was a separate piece of type. The New
York Times and the Toledo Blade do NOTNOT** follow AP Style; it has its own
style. But most news organizations and PR firms use AP Style or base their own
style on AP. We will be using AP Style at the Owens Outlook student newspaper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; mso-themecolor: text1;">We are learning the <u>PRINT</u> version of
AP Style, which is also used for newswriting on the Internet and in public
relations writing. (There is also an AP Style for broadcast journalists. We
will learn a few elements of broadcast style later this semester, but we won’t
delve as comprehensively into broadcast style.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Consider this: There are three sets of numbers for ISO, fstop and shutter speed. These are the most common <i>standard</i> settings that are used:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>ISO = 400 | 800 | 1600 | 3200 | 6400</li>
<li>fstops = f2.8 | f4 | f5.6 | f8 | f11 | f16| f22 | f32</li>
<li>Shutter speeds = 1/30 | 1/60 | 1/125 | 1/250 | 1/500 | 1/1000 | 1/2000 | 1/4000 | 1/8000</li>
</ul>

It takes the right combination of all three numbers for a correct exposure. If you don't know how to meter a scene, there is way higher chance of screwing it up than getting it right. It is paramount that photographers know what each number means, and how they work.<br />
So, I had this discussion on a podcast show called Teachable Moment, hosted by Owens Community College President Steve Robinson. We met in his office in late October and spend a little over 30 minutes gabbing about photography.<br />
Thank you, Pres. Robinson, for having me on your show to talk about what I love doing - teaching photography!<br />
Give it a listen - <br />

Let the semester begin!<br />
Today is the first day for the rest of your ... semester.<br />
I hope the course will be packed with lots of tools to add to your storytelling toolbox; some you'll use all the time, and some you'll never use.<br />
The main purpose of these classes is to expose you to many skills, without really become thoroughly proficient in any of them. That means this is an introductory class, and my job is to give you a basic understanding of what visual storytelling and photojournalism is all about.<br />
So, let's get started!<br />

places and things.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What has changed is how we disseminate journalism. Besides still producing legacy news, like newspapers, TV news and NPR, we
have many more ways of spreading our stories:</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<script src="https://steller.co/site/static/js/steller.js"></script>
<!-- please load steller.js ONCE per page -->
There is no doubt that journalism is in a constant flux.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Twenty years ago it would have been unthinkable to add a smartphone assignment to a photojournalism curriculum. But that's exactly what I did for the most recent Wayne State University feature hunting assignment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rather than having the Digital Photojournalism students shoot their feature pictures with their DSLRs, which they just finished learning about, I threw them a curve ball - shoot a single street scene photo <i>and</i> a photo story with only a smartphone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This change was absolutely necessary, and frankly, long overdue, because it's now common practice for all, <i>yes... all</i>, of the Toledo Blade reporters to use their phones to take their own still images and video stories when necessary. Our reporters are trained on <a href="https://videolicious.com/video-solution">Videolicious</a>, a video editing app on smartphones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a photojournalist, this makes me feel like my job is less secure. Are we that replaceable? Should we news photographers just lay down our $3,000 Canon cameras and submit to the trend of companies cutting out their experience image makers? So, yeah, many of us are struggling with an identity crisis, a tinge of jealousy, and a lot of insecurity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VSz1_BbwUm0/WrrvV-7DF0I/AAAAAAAABno/o_7W6gLfDPUMB7HgLGzdGG9dGBudulzIQCLcBGAs/s1600/andya.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="557" data-original-width="840" height="265" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VSz1_BbwUm0/WrrvV-7DF0I/AAAAAAAABno/o_7W6gLfDPUMB7HgLGzdGG9dGBudulzIQCLcBGAs/s400/andya.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In fact, my colleague Andy Morrison recently brought up a good point when he Tweeted that media companies are spending big money training their reporters how to use their smartphones as cameras, but are they training their photographers how to write? Not yet, but they should.<br />
Being versatile means doing it all these days: Writing. Shooting. Podcasting.<br />
The military was always a strong leader in 'backback journalism,' or convergence. Even back in 1980, when I went through journalism training at the military's <a href="http://www.dinfos.dma.mil/">Defense Information School</a>, they trained us for both writing and shooting, and it's made me a much stronger journalist because I can do both. I was a reporter who used an old fashioned typewriter to write stories, and had a Canon F-1 film camera always slung on my shoulder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now I'm teaching journalists how to shoot with smartphones.<br />
The feature assignment was two prong: 1. Shoot a single 'street' photo and post on Instagram and Twitter. 2. Shoot a photo story and post on <a href="https://steller.co/">Steller</a>, a iPhone storytelling app. Droids users emailed the photos to themselves and posted their images on their blogs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's more to the assignment than that, but this my point - smartphone photography is here to stay, and it needs to be taught by all photojournalism instructors [particularly if the students are journalists], regardless of the fact that we could unwittingly be training our replacements.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, to lead by example, I shot my own Steller story this past weekend. It's the story above with the cute kitty on the poster.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope the students liked shooting their stories with a smartphone, because they just got a glimpse into their futures. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<i><b>Wayne State University photojournalism student</b></i></div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-size: 0.95em;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;"> The First Amendment states, </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin-bottom: 0px;"><i>“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” </i></span></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 15.2px;"><i> </i></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;">As a college student majoring in journalism, freedom of the press directly effects my career because it allows me to freely pass on information to the society while being protected. </span></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;"> Freedom of the press does not only influence how we write, but it also influences the photos we take.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; line-height: 25.65px; margin-bottom: 1.1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">

<div style="font-size: 0.95em;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin-bottom: 0px;">As a college student, this is important to me because the First Amendment allows me to take photos of the university or about the university to highlight the truth of campus events. </span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-size: 15.2px;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;">It allows student and professional photojournalists to document and share information with the public without being persecuted. For example, it protects against being thrown into jail if photographers do not give up sources, reveal information about the government or shoot controversial pictures.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;"> There is a sense of pride when it comes to delivering the truth to citizens, which the First Amendment allows. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;"> As an aspiring photojournalist, I am lucky to live in a country that does not have strict laws on the press, but also follows ethical standards, which are very important to this industry because they create a reliable source of information. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; line-height: 25.65px; margin-bottom: 1.1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 0.95em;"> While the United States has laws to protect the press, there are no laws to protect photojournalists from eth</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 0.95em; margin-bottom: 0px;">ical issues. As a visual journalist, it is important to know how far is appropriate to go, in order to get a good shot.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;"> There are three ethical decision-making foundations: utilitarian, absolutist and the Golden Rule.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;"> Utilitarian approach is sharing photos whether they are good or bad, to better society. Absolutist is the idea that everyone has the right to their own privacy. The Golden </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;">Rule is putting yourself in the subjects shoes and deciding if you would want the photo published. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.95em; line-height: 25.65px; margin-bottom: 1.1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin-bottom: 0px;"><b>Of the three ethical decision-making foundations, utilitarian relates to me most. I have a strong desire to spread the word about important issues in order to inform society.</b></span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; line-height: 25.65px; margin-bottom: 1.1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="font-size: 0.95em;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin-bottom: 0px;"> I think utilitarian is the best way to approach photojournalism because it spreads importance of the issue at hand. By this, I mean printing a photo of a tragic car crash if it would change the way viewers think, therefor, helping to prevent car crashes.</span></div>
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 15.2px;"> </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 0.95em;">With this power of the med</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 0.95em; margin-bottom: 0px;">ia, I feel I have an obligation to the public to take photos of important moments. I feel it's </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;">my duty as a journalist to share information that it is critical to help society. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;"> Truth is a very important component of photojournalism, which is why the utilitarian approach to shooting photos is justifiable. </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 0.95em;">I want to use my photography skills to document emotion in a story, which could change the way readers feel about a certain topic. </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 0.95em;">The utilitarian approach to photojournalism is a st</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 0.95em; margin-bottom: 0px;">rong way to evoke the emotions of readers and leave more of an impact.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 0.95em;"> Overall, the First Amendment and ethical standards are guidelines that bring society accurate news. As a collegiate photojournalist, I am excited to join the field because I can influence society for the good with photos I take.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> On that page, there will be a growing collection of podcasts on movers and shakers at Owens, including the president and the athletic director. These podcasts will be produced by my OCC Visual Storytelling students, called <i>Voices of Storytellers</i>. Though the podcasts are class assignments, they will also be published, giving the Broadcast Technology students a chance to build a portfolio in sound.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> I am also kicking off my own podcast next week.

As the faculty adviser to the <a href="https://owensoutlook.com/">Owens Outlook</a> online student newspaper for half a decade, I've experienced a regeneration or two. But we keep getting back on our feet.<br />
So it's with excitement that I announce we are in yet another rejuvenation, but I'm confident this one is the beginning of a golden era for students who will walk through the Outlook Student Media Center door for years to come.<br />
Back in Room 156 (a great space we used to share with student government, then were moved out to two other locations) in the Fine & Performing Arts Center on the Perrysburg Owens Community College campus, we now have a media center manager, Rob Thomas, and an OCCR radio manager, Herbey Adkinson. These two gentlemen will help keep the center going.<br />
The biggest change is that the Owens Outlook is now sharing space with the OCCR station, and eventually with the new television component. This is possible because of the new Broadcast and TV Technology majors.<br />
As part of this new collaboration, we are rebranding, which is why these students in the video were recording a new jingle for our show, Voices of Storytelling podcast, which debuts on the OCCR station next Thursday between the 2-3 p.m. hour. It will be a weekly 15-minute podcast, recorded and produced the Visual Storytelling students.<br />
There is much to do: rewrite the student media policy manual; redo the student staff application; rebrand the media center and its components; recruit, recruit, recruit; train, train, train. Then what we do best - write, photograph and broadcast! <br />
So stay tuned for what's to come, and listen to that jingle on our <a href="http://www.owens.edu/fpa/owensradio.html">OCCR</a> station!Lori Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05436963556028128084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822461819013051789.post-35750887449341873802018-01-25T08:25:00.005-05:002020-08-24T07:41:43.927-04:00Best Practice: Posting images to your social media accounts<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.25in;">

</span>Congratulations! Many of you have recently created your first social

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 10.1pt;">
<span face="" style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> However,
I want to stress here that there are many ways to get things done, so <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">my way</i> isn’t necessarily the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">best</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">way</i>.
Ultimately, do what works best for you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span face="" style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first Best
Practices tip is a series of steps to help guide you when posting a photo(s) to
your Instagram and Twitter accounts:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.25in;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Select your chosen photo in Photo Mechanic (Be
picky! Quality over quantity, always)</li>
<li>Write the AP style caption in Photo Mechanic.
Include #hashtags and photo credit</li>
<li>Edit the photo in Photoshop (simple crop and correction
of color/exposure issues)</li>
<li>Post the photo to your blog. It will retain the
caption</li>
<li>To post on Instagram and Twitter, follow these
steps:</li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16pt; margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.75in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Copy the caption and email the photo and caption
to yourself</li>
<li>Open email. Select all and copy.</li>
<li>Save Image(s)</li>
<li>Go to Instagram on your phone and click the +
option</li>
<li>Select the photo. You can choose a filter as
long it doesn’t change the content of the image</li>
<li>Paste the caption in the text area</li>
<li>Add required and appropriate #hashtags</li>
<li>Share to Twitter (and Facebook). This way you don’t have to go to Twitter and do it all over again</li>
</ul>
