Visual Journalism
Photojournalism is changing, propelled by newsroom budget cuts, multimedia possibilities, and the ubiquity of digital images. In Visual Journalism, photojournalists write about emerging digital business strategies and their efforts to expand the reach of their photographs online and on gallery walls. They also share ideas about how to fund projects of personal passion and societal value. Their words tell vital stories about how they do their work; slideshows of their photographs—exclusive to our Web site—and multimedia presentations convey their visual stories. Read and watch as the future of photojournalism unfolds.

- Sunday Dare In an excerpt that was published as part of “Journalists: On the Subject of Courage,” the Summer 2006 issue of Nieman Reports, Dare chronicled a harrowing experience during his tenure at The News, an independent magazine in Nigeria. He set the stage: “This Gestapo-like raid on The News and Tempo magazines occurred sometime in April 1998 when a military dictatorship under the regime of General Sani Abacha was in its most brutal stage. The journalists at The News, Tempo and Tell publications were singled out for attacks, harassment, arrest, unlawful detention, and elimination. This was the height of the Abacha paranoia and journalists were game.”
