OK – I admit it. The Yakima Herald-Republic is not the New York Times. For instance, our A-1 photos often run bigger than those on the front page of the Times. And last time I checked our company directory, we don’t have any overseas bureaus or correspondents (though some people might say that Yakima is a whole different world).
But we the H-R and the New York Times do have common ground when it comes to issues of photography, technology and the changing role of photojournalism.
Michelle McNally, an assistant managing editor and former Director of Photography at the Times, answered readers’ questions last week. It’s a fascinating read and I’d recommend that anyone interested in photojournalism read the Q and A article.
