Yearbook Photojournalism: The Key to Tying It All Together
May 31st, 2008
Some students prefer the articles in the yearbook, others want the photos. But tying the two together with yearbook photojournalism layouts is the best of both worlds. Photos don´t always tell the whole story and can even be a bit confusing at times, but if you have the chance to combine journalism with them, you´ll have a great story that contains enough of both photos and text to keep everyone happy.
The best way to incorporate yearbook photojournalism is to team staff members up. That way the writer will know just what was going on when the photo was taken and they can even collaborate on the layouts. It´s a great way to encourage teamwork within the yearbook class.
Yearbook photojournalism can really bring more interest to the photo sections of the book. It´s also very useful years in the future when your students don´t remember why so and so had a weird look on his face at the basketball game. That´s when it comes in handy to have a little text to go along with the photos, explaining the back story.
It´s a good idea to incorporate at least some yearbook photojournalism into your layouts. Students will appreciate it.
