Genre typology of journalistic photographs

Joanna

Finally, my article, in which I propose the genre typology of journalistic photographs has been published in “Journal of Media Practice” (the journal even used a photograph from my article for the cover). The article is titled Enhancing visual literacy through interpretation of photo-genres: toward a genre typology of journalistic photographs, and you can find it here. The article was inspired by my study that I conducted in November-December 2014 at the University of Warsaw, Poland, thanks to the mobility grant form the Science Council of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

At this point I would like to one more time thank Merja Koskela and Mari Pienimäki for their patience in reading and commenting earlier versions of this article.

Helsinki Photomedia 2016

Joanna

This was already the 3rd edition of Helsinki Photomedia Conference, 30th March – 1st April 2016. I was those lucky to present my research at all three editions. This year, however, organizers introduced a new panel – Photography Education that was chaired by Professor Liz Wells. This was my first experience of having such a good chair that made the whole panel (split into two sessions, four papers each) very cohesive. After my presentation, we had very interesting discussion on the current condition of photography education and new approaches that it requires. Looking forward to similar panel in the next edition of Photomedia Conference in 2018.
