Photojournalism Certification

- Photojournalism combines image making with story telling and allows a photographer to convey a message or point. If you are considering news photography as a career, most editors will not hire you without some form of education or experience. CCforP has created an education track specifically for photographers who are interested in freelancing for new agencies, newspapers, online news site or magazines. The Photojournalism Certification is also applicable for persons who are in the public relations fields.
