Seeking shooters who have done NGO work
|
I’m a graduate student at the Missouri School of Journalism. I want to talk with photojournalists who have shot for an NGO, either volunteer or paid, for research I’m conducting. If this description fits you, and you can spare a couple of hours, I’d love to interview you about your experience. One objective is to educate photojournalists about how to go about doing such work.
Thanks very much.

Sorry, Guilad, no money. But I’ll buy you a cup of coffee…. it would be about sharing your experiences with other journalists who might want to do something similar.
|
Sure Alisa. Except it would be hard to buy me that coffee unless yer gonna fly to california. Shoot me an email, id be glad to answer any ?’s as I have made alot of mistakes dealing with NGO’s that id like my colleagues not to repeat.

Hi Alisa,I have worked in NGOs for 15 years or so (environmental, human rights, health). Am newer to photography, though exploring the merge between the two. I have only shot for one NGO, a former employer. If this sounds like good persepctive, let me know. I’d be happy to talk.
|
Alisa, it would be lovely if you can post what you reap of your interviews here when all is gathered.

Dear Heather,
Thanks for your note. What was your relationship, if any, with journallists, during your many years of working for NGOs?
I appreciate your willingness to talk with me.
Regards,
Alisa

Dear Olivier,
Thank you for writing.What I’d like to do, if you’re willing, is arrange a time I could call you and interview you. As I said in my post, I expect the conversation to take an hour or two of your time. If you are comfortable, I will record it as I need to include a written transcript in my project report.
U.S. federal law requires academic instituations to take steps to protect research participants. So, I have to ask you to read the following. If you are agreeable, please state that in this email and send it back to me. Thanks!!
Best,
Alisa

Hi Alisa,
Regarding my experience with journalists, I organized numerous demonstrations and events, and would occassionally pitch journalists to cover them, but often our communications person would do the outreach. On a good day I was interviewed and/or photographed by journalists to cover my work. I have organized press conferences. I am married to a foreign affairs journalist, and I have done freelance photography over the past year or so. Best, Heather
