Learning Photography/Photojournalism Today
On this week’s episode of Around the Lens Roundtable Discussions, our guests Mark Johnson, clinical professor, photojournalism, chief technology officer, The University of Georgia, College of Journalism and Mass Communication, out of Athens, Georgia, and Rick Friedman, freelance photojournalist, discuss teaching photojournalism and photography in an era of low job prospects and heavy AI usage. They talk about the real-world impacts they’re seeing from the teaching side and the surprising results. They also discuss The Stringer and their assessment of the film, and their verdict on Nick Ut’s authorship of the Napalm Girls photo.
