Burnside- Assignment #11

Camp Kesem Social Event: Camp Kesem is a week away camp for children who are impacted by a parents/ loved ones cancer. The event I decided to photograph is one of the social events that we have; in this event, we (the counselors for camp) are making gifts for the seniors in the program that are graduating this year. I think my photos have journalistic integrity because it parts of my photos, I make sure that the organization name is shown in a unique way. I make sure that I show some of the faces that shape Camp Kesem. I think this type of organization could be ran on any news platform, it's a very impactful organization and in the eyes of a counselor, it's life changing.

At Camp: We have camp names that are unique to us to "hide our identity" during camp and put out lives on "pause" to enjoy the week. Featured in the photos we have Blue (Gray Shirt), TV (White Shirt), and Dipper. (The boy)

 The outdoor pool has opened up again! UMD students flood the space, take up the sunbeds to tan, and even jump in the water. I think the Diamondback could potentially write an article about the pool's opening and its popularity. Its target audience would be UMD students.

 As finals are approaching, students begin scrabbling to study for their exams. These photos have journalistic integrity because they capture the reality of college students near the end of the semester. Each student has a different perspective and approach to finals. Such images can provide visual evidence of academic life, student behavior, or educational environments, thereby enhancing the credibility and reliability of the reporting. These images align with the journalistic principles of accuracy, fairness, and responsibility by capturing real moments in educational settings. 

Diveley - Assignment 11

Students decorate their windows across the campus with national flags, sports memorabilia, plants and more. These displays, seen in dorms and apartments alike, offer subtle glimpses into personal identity, pride, and creativity. Whether it's a representation of hometown roots, cultural heritage, a favorite sports team, or even a fan to keep cool, the windows can become visual statements that reflect the student.  I think this could make an interesting story on campus.

I wish I could've gotten more "interactive" photos of students possibly hanging things up, but I gave up after 2 hours of walking around.  I also didn't want to get too close and look like a creep.

Photos from Maryland Day have journalism merit because they document a major community event at the University of Maryland. Outlets like The Diamondback, other campus publications and local newspapers  would publish them in coverage of campus life and events. This year, the event featured 400 free activities, with thousands in attendance, according to Streetcar Suburbs news. 

Zwirn - Assignment 11

 

These images of UMD students playing Spikeball could be used in a piece written by an on-campus publication about what students do in their free time outside of doing classwork. The images show students spending time outside enjoying the nice weather instead of being inside playing video games. The target audience for this article would be incoming students to UMD to show them some of the different things that students do with their friends.

Winters, Assignment #11

    While Lake Artemesia is the more famous body of water in College Park, University of Maryland students are missing one right under there noses: Campus Creek. The mile long body of water runs in to the Anacostia River and has a significant effect on the Chesapeake Bay. Dangers to the creek, such as urban flooding and erosion have caused the university to react in creating restoration projects and management plans for the creek. UMD and mother nature now work closely together in saving the environment.
