Diploma In Photo Journalism  
 
Duration : Six Months
Qualification : Intermediate
Course Outline:
Photojournalism is telling a story with photographs. But its beyond that also, like the journalists writing stories with words, it’s conveying the truth with visual evidences. A photojournalist is different from a photographer or a videographer who just goes to an event and record visuals. Photos make or break a news paper or a magazine. In India, journalism is one of the last bastions of freedom that thrives today.

As a photojournalist, you must understand it is not your job to make news but to record news. With better photos and visuals. The career of photojournalism is an interesting field to join. Depending on your desires, you can travel the world to exotic places or record your own town’s history in your local paper. It means getting in to places others can’t. It means being creative. There is a big thrill to open the pages of a magazine or news paper and see a photo with your name below it. Today, photojournalists include video news personnel. In fact, videographers frequently have better access to event than do photographers. It is nothing to see both still and video photographers along the sidelines at a sporting event. Each has a market to sell to.

This course prepares you to enter the world of visuals as a junior level professional, comfortable in both still & video photojournalism.
