Is it possible to be a photojournalist AND a journalist?
I want to be a journalist. I'm in my second semester of my Bachelor's degree, and already am working with the professor as an assistant for the intro class.
Last semester, I skipped the intro class and went straight into Journalism News writing 2 (head underwater I might say). I came out greater in knowledge and loved every minute of it. The only issue is, no one was taking photographs for the articles. I went out and bought a Nikon D3300 entry-level camera to start picking up the slack.
Almost every page had either my photo or an article I wrote.
So what I'm asking, is as a career option-- can a journalist also work as a photojournalist?
Of course, anything is possible if you put your mind to it. You can do it both and be great. Just be YOU
Sometimes as a journalist for a small publication you have to do both for less important stories.
