“The elements of a subject that speak to us are often scattered and can't be captured in one photo; we don't have the right to force them together, and to stage them would be cheating... which brings us to the need for photojournalism.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson
There are stories to be told everywhere, from the altiplano of South America to around the corner back home. In a 24 hour news cycle, audiences want the story and want it now, with pictures from the frontlines. The world of communication has become a world where audiences want storytelling brought to them in new ways. The photographer storyteller with multiple skills has the best chance of delivering the story to the audience they want to reach. That is why Brooks Institute has created this non-traditional program, Visual Journalism. The photojournalist of yesterday must today be cross-trained in still cameras, computers, and digital video cameras. That way the photographer can deliver a story or project to the traditional print media, to the Web and to the multi-cable environment.
