This weekly post has everything you need for completing this week’s self-paced content and readings, plus an outline at the end for what’s covered during class meetings. Photojournalism is typically about what happens in public, but much of life happens out of the public eye. This week is about what makes personal spaces and issues newsworthy for visual documentation. <\/p>\n
“Social issues” is a broad term often used to describe difficulties that affect many people, but that we tend to think of as private or personal decisions. This selection of photos is narrated by the photographer, Brenda Ann Kenneally, a documentary photographer who often works on the same projects for many years to build relationships with her subjects. These photos are from a project called “Upstate Girls,” which started when a pregnant teenager asked if Kenneally wanted to document the birth. <\/p>\n
