Digital Photojournalism is dedicated to instruction and theory of digital processes and tools for the study of photojournalism. Currently, the best-selling photojournalism textbooks provide only a chapter or two on digital issues and technology; Digital Photojournalism is an entire book on the subject. Co-authored by a photojournalism professor at the University of North Texas and an Assistant Managing Editor of Visuals for The Dallas Morning News, the book merges two worlds of photojournalism - the academic and the professional - and incorporates the information essential to both. The book covers current practices in the professional field such as transmitting and archiving - information that those interested in photojournalism will need to know as they pursue careers in the field. Legal and ethical issues are also discussed. For interested beginners in digital photojournalism.

Photojournalism has always fascinated me, and I was really glad to find this book that provided a glimpse at what the genre is all about. Digital photography's immediacy really lends itself to journalism, as the examples in this book prove. Highly recommended.
