| Mabuhay, Photojournalism!
When digital media came to its advancement, once said that Newspaper era is done. When news became business, and everyone can afford digital cameras, and people don’t give a **** about how good is a photograph, and the standard of a good photojournalism is getting more blurry than ever, then it came to the dead of photojournalism. Don’t blame citizen journalists, Instagram, or Twitter for the condition, but they gave us lesson to take photojournalism to a new medium and standard.
Four Indonesians, along with other ten Asian students has finished their Diploma in Photojournalism Program in Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines. Through distant-learning process in a full academic year they learned many aspects of photojournalism. Their final projects will be presented in a showcase and discussion in Tobucil, Bandung, June 23, 2012.
Well, fortunately photojournalism is not dead. It is transformed into new appearance and characteristics. If Martin Parr called his work as “entertaining photojournalism”, we’re trying to present “an old wine in new bottle with a tempting packaging”.
So... Mabuhay, photojournalism! How are you today?
