11: Will Yurman-2010

"The answer to the why question gives your audience a reason to care."

This photojournalist / professor gave me the worst grade I've gotten since Pre-Calc and Trig back in 11th grade.

This important quote is the last sentence in the email I received about my first interviews for my Multimedia for Photojournalists class. He is absolutely right. This whole quarter all my professors have spoken time and time again on question of "Why Should We Care" about this project or that person. Being able to answer that question for every topic proposal, every interview, every photograph is pivotal. Only after we photojournalists give the viewer an understanding of why we care and why a person lives a certain way can he respond to the stories we are telling them.
