[NABS-L] Anyone Taken a Journalism Course?

[michael.ausbun at gmail.com]

Hello Vejas,
	My first initial thought is to go about hiring someone, much like
you would a reader. That is, creating some sort of job-announcement to put
up on bulletin boards around campus, posting on craigslist, asking around
(particularly in artsy areas of the university), etc. Although in this
instance you are not hiring someone to read, you are looking for quality
work in a visual medium-perfect for something like this. I would personally
caution against asking a friend or family member; unless you are certain
that the quality of pictures will meet your desired specifications.
Alternatively, as was suggested, AIRA could be a perfect solution to this
problem, if you have the service.
I will continue to brainstorm ideas; be back in touch soon.
Respectfully,
Michael Ausbun
Secretary Treasurer, Louisiana Association of Blind Students

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?
Vejas
