Abstract

Conversations about narrative are few and far between in photojournalism. Interviews conducted with leaders in the field helped to complete a fuller understanding of the process and ideals of building visual narratives. Understood through the hierarchy of influences theory, this research found that photo editors look for a strongly communicated human experience first in the narratives they work with. Conversations further suggest that communication is the single most important element of the narrative building process.
