In my opinion, they're one in the same. Skills that make one a good photojournalist expand beyond knowing what to look for when your eye is pressed up against your viewfinder.AKinDC said:What are we talking about here, improving our skills as photographer/editors, or improving our worth in the newsroom?
There's many great points in this thread. Taking them into consideration will pay off in more ways than one: reporters will ask to work with you, the desk will send you to breaking news first, management will be more open to getting you the equipment you need, and bigger assignments will roll your way.
Don't take an Internet thread's word for it. Pull your chief or ops manager aside and ask him what you can do to improve. Roll with the suggestions. Burnout is a very valid danger, but
you can't blame anyone else unless you put forth the effort, too.
I'm proud of the responses in this thread! Keep the suggestions coming!
