Model for interpretation of journalistic photographs

doctoral dissertation, photography interpretation, publishing process

This is an article that first got stuck in one journal due to the “lack of reviewers specialized in visual literacy”. I was determined, so I kept it there (too) long. After (my first ever) withdrawal, the manuscript was accepted with only some minor revisions in the “Media Education Research Journal”. And it is finally published under the following title: Acquiring visual literacy skills: Interpretation of journalistic photographs as a tool for contemporary education (abstract).

This study presents the final version of the model for interpretation of journalistic photographs that I worked on through my doctorate. Thus, after a year from my doctoral defense, this publication officially ends all my duties related to that process (I actually promised my supervisor to publish all the papers). And although I keep coming back to some ideas from THE book, it has been very refreshing  to finally being able to close this chapter of the so-called my academic career (for which, I still have hopes…).

Rethinking contextual interpretation

contextual interpretation, journalistic photograph, photo context, publishing process

I have just found out that my article Does the journalistic photograph need a context? Rethinking contextual interpretation was published in the “Studies in Visual Arts and Communication – an international journal”. This article was initially, as a manuscript, part of my doctoral dissertation. As such, this one article taught me the most about academic publishing. I have reviewed it almost endlessly over a number of years. It has evolved along my own process of learning. I struggled (both with reviewers and advisors) to keep the main argument alive about the role of context in the interpretation of journalistic photographs. This manuscript was actually the only part of my dissertation that external examiners heavily criticized (after thousands of journals’ reviewers comments it was not new to me any more). Nevertheless, upon my struggle to publish it, I met a wonderful journal editor who even wanted to create a special issue including my text. However, reviewers in her journal have also rejected the manuscript. And, now, finally, after at least ten different submissions, hundreds of revisions and years of patient – it is published. Based on my current learning, I may not necessary consider it as a very smart text – but for sure – as a very important one that taught me a lot of the process.
