This Spring semester, School of Journalism launched a new class: Photojournalism, taught as a hands-on workshop.

In this course, students discuss current news events and how they are covered visually. They learn the history and discuss ethical issues related to photojournalism, and of course, create images that are compelling and relay the intended messages to the viewers.

Here are some of the photos from their most recent class assignment:
