The digital age has revolutionised the look of journalism; be it online or in print. The subsequent shift to multi-media and multi-platform publishing arguably makes visual appearance and branding more important than ever. Yet visual journalism remains a relatively under-theorised and under-researched field.Visual Journalism presents a unique; critical investigation into this area. Combining theory and practice; the chapters integrate the experiences of practitioners working in photography; visual design and set design; including insights into how they work and the changing environments they find themselves in; with an innovative theory of visual communication ndash; multimodality ndash; that enables the text to break down and analyse the key elements and patterns of visual design.In exploring visual journalism from these two angles; and across a range of contemporary media platforms; the text evaluates the extent to which visual communication comprises a significant part of what content means to audiences. As such; the book is an invaluable resource for students of journalism; media studies and photography; as well as for practising designers and journalists.
