F3C. The Birth and Death of Photojournalism (In-Person Class)
Art, Music & Theater | Registration opens 2/25/2026 9:00 AM
Photojournalism was born in the 1800s when photography was invented. Since then, it has told stories embracing the human spirit, bound by rules of truth and accuracy. Wars, scientific breakthroughs, social unrest, politics, and natural wonders are just a handful of topics told by photojournalists through newspapers, magazines, television newscasts, and now the ubiquitous smartphone. However, along the way, truth and accuracy have fallen by the wayside. It has been replaced by social media using visual manipulation, distorted half-truths, and outright lies. We will look at the impact of those often immeasurable changes in our lives.
NOTE: This course is being offered Thursdays on Zoom and Fridays in person. Be sure to register for your preferred class.
