Introduction to the Program

A complete theoretical and practical tour through the various genres and subgenres that make up photojournalism, their differentiating criteria and the adjustments that the professional must develop in each of them"

##IMAGE##

Photojournalism combines the art of photography and the craft of journalism. In its essence are the artistic and aesthetic aspect of the image and the informative part of it. Photographic journalism is, in short, a journalistic specialty with the purpose to inform through photography. Sports photojournalism is therefore governed by the criteria of topicality and immediacy of the news, but also by the testimonial value of the report and the plasticity of the interview, which implies that it intervenes in each and every one of the genres of journalism. The only difference, essential on the other hand, is that its raw material is not words, but the image. 

This program will develop the range of genres within photojournalism and the variants of specialization involved in it, such as event, conflict, environmental or street photojournalism. This theoretical and practical tour through the genres and subgenres will help build a visual account of the information and adjust the approach and prior preparation of the photojournalist according to the type of work they are faced with. 

The aim is, on the one hand, to examine the qualities that the image must have according to the journalistic genre for which it is used and, on the other hand, to delve into the specialization criteria to be taken into account in professional practice. In this sense, the photojournalist must know what level of prior research a coverage requires, especially in-depth photojournalism and in the sub-genre of war conflicts. 

The program will also address ethical and legal issues of the different genres with special emphasis on image editing (pixelation) and the need for the photojournalist to know the limitations in their profession from a regulatory and deontological point of view. Therefore, the fundamental rights involved in photojournalism, such as the right to information, privacy and self-image or the special protection for minors and people with functional diversity, will be covered.

A program that will allow you to clearly differentiate between informative photojournalism and opinion photojournalism, their similarities and differences"
