If you are planning to pursue a career in photojournalism, you should have keen interest in journalism.
Photojournalists may work side by side with a reporter to decide which photograph will accompany with the news item.
There are many different structures of photo department management in a publication. A large newspaper or magazine may have a managing editor of photography and graphics that supervises a team of photo editors who work with the photographers, page designers and lab technicians.
The primary duty of the photojournalist is to take pictures. They are responsible for providing clear, easy-to-read, high quality, truthful images, that communicate a- meaningful message to the readers of the publication they work for.
Most newspapers also give the photographer other duties such as developing their film, editing film, scanning their pictures in the computer, adjusting the tone and colour of the pictures.
Salaries for photojournalists vary depending on the location, size and type of the publication, experience of the photographer.
Eligibility Criteria
In India there is no institution or university specifically offering degree or diploma course in photojournalism. The course is offered through different programmes of journalism & mass communication, art & craft, film and television and advanced information technologies. This education is recognized as professional education, usually referred to by different nomenclatures, viz., photo editing, layout and design, fundamentals of photography, electronic editing, advanced photography, digital imaging, fundamentals of digital technology, basic and advanced photojournalism, film editing, fundamental principles and practices on Videography, moving and still photography, etc. depending on the emphasis on different aspects of photojournalism.
