Hitting the Big Time

Broadway Magnolia After Katrina (2 February 2009)

I had the good fortune to have my humble blog noticed by a major player in the journalism field. Jacqui Banaszynski won the 1988 Pulitzer for Feature Writing and retired as the Knight Chair of Editing at the University of Missouri School of Journalism. She now edits the Nieman Storyboard, a publication of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard that showcases exceptional narrative journalism and explores the future of nonfiction storytelling.

She thought my trilogy on where to look for images (behind you, up and down) could serve as an example for journalists to expand their perspectives and approaches to telling their stories. She took the blog’s text (and images) and annotated them to illustrate and instruct the Nieman readers.

I am proud and grateful to have been showcased on this important site. I think any of us who aspire to put words to our images might find the post interesting.
