Description
Visual Journalism discusses the growing visual communication field, making it the first book to combine all of the information necessary to start anyone on a visual communication career.
This text examines the historical context of visual journalism while providing insights into modern-day applications of new media processes for the new media professional. It consolidates information from various sectors of graphics to aid the "new media" practitioner, providing practical insight into the changing visual profession. By discussing topics such as visual literacy, ethical considerations, reporting and writing, typography and graphic design, and Internet research, it is of value in any course in which students are asked to create and use visual messages - including graphics, photography, Web design, typography, audio, and video.
