A major in communication will give my creativity
a foundation in theory and substance. As I look for a future in
media and photo journalism, I can seek to implement what I have
learned in my courses to create the most powerful work possible.
How has being the photo editor for the Anchor student
newspaper been helpful?
Working for the Anchor has given me publication
experience
and opportunities to put communication theories into practice.
Taking an idea and portraying it in an image is a great form of communication
that I have been able to work on through the Anchor.
How have your communication courses benefited your photography?
Photography can become more powerful when you understand
the rhetoric behind things and the criticism and public culture that
will effect your photography. By understanding the public culture
and the criticism behind things, you can better approach your means
of presenting it.
What other ways have you gotten involved in hands-on media?
I have been working with a friend of mine on his campaign
for student congress president doing videography, photography, website
design, and other elements of his campaign.
