In this lesson about
captions, there is more to photojournalism then just taking pictures and
posting them on a blog or website.
Captions are the key thing in making sure that your photos are accurate
and you were actually there. Also, when
taking photos identifying a person, place or thing is one of the most important
keys into writing captions when describing photos. Photojournalists can’t be funny when writing
because the photo isn’t so humorous.
Also, photojournalists
had epic career fails because they posted things that weren’t true. In one of the documents it showed 20 epic
career failed captions where it showed that a misidentified person, a fire on
TV where the caption said “have a great day” just shows that people are not
taking this profession serious.
About AP style it is
important that we figure out that photojournalists have to use whole names in
first reference then last names on second reference after that. Also, where photojournalists get in trouble
is where a “fatal flaw” comes in. Journalists
also tend to sometimes spell people names wrong. It’s important that we spell people’s names
right and be accurate when the media is doing storytelling when describing
photos.
