Good 'Net Photojournalism Sites
Compiled by Internet Photojournalist John Myers
A Photojournalist is a photographer who can write. But it's easier to show than tell, so I start with my alma mater in the "Show Me" State, University of Missouri School of Photojournalism, first and still the best in the world. These sites are in no order discernible to anyone but me (and I can't explain it either). All are somewhere between "good" and "great" or I don't pick 'em. If you'd like to nominate a site for my list, please use
