Visual Journalism Seminars

Visuals communicate. They add intelligence and depth to the written report and contribute to the reader's understanding. In Poynter's visual seminars you'll find that collaboration and sound journalistic principles undergird all of our teaching.

You'll cover the fundamentals of typography, color, visual and photographic reporting, and page architecture, and supplement those subjects with today's challenges in digital storytelling and interactive design and navigation. You'll get strategies for working harmoniously with journalists of other disciplines in order to better serve the reader. Through slide shows, critiques, multimedia presentations, and hands-on visual exercises related to your particular craft area, you'll participate in and learn from lively conversations with classmates. You'll broaden your horizons with discussions of journalism ethics and diversity and the challenges of managing the visual staff. You'll gain an understanding of the need for every visual journalist to be a good journalist, newsroom citizen, and leader among colleagues.

Whether you're an assistant managing editor, photo director, art director, newspaper page designer, picture editor, photographer, web designer, or graphic artist, Poynter's Visual Journalism seminars will help you determine the best way to tell a story with available resources.
