[NABS-L] Anyone Taken a Journalism Course?

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi All,
I just started my classes this week, and I'm really enjoying them.
Today, I had my intro to journalism class. Besides reading, writing and research, all of which is of course very doable, it will sometimes be necessary to take photos. Photos are encouraged in the news articles we write, and we will also have a photo packet assignment which will be explained later on in the semester.
I have a meeting with my teacher within the next week, and was wondering how you all dealt with photo assignments. My teacher seems to be very accommodating. I know she could probably exempt me from taking photos and give me an alternative packet assignment, but I also know that in the big picture (pun intended) professionally, blind journalists would probably still be expected to have some photos to make the article more engaging for sighted readers.
Any thoughts?
