Inspiring Photographers

Photofriendly Newspapers In The US

by

Jay Defoore and David Walker of Photo District News have compiled a short list of newspapers that successfully display images in their pages and make it a great place to work, if you are a photojournalist.

You have to be a “subscriber” to get the goods and I am not about to copy and paste it all here, including internship info that is priceless. That should be incentive for those of you considering a subscription.

Allow me, however, to whet your appetite a bit. Here is the alphabetical list that the duo has published online :

Albuquerque Tribune
Concord Monitor
Evansville Courier & Press
Hartford Courant
Jasper Herald
The Los Angeles Times
Naples Daily News
The New York Times
The Oregonian
The Palm Beach Post
Rocky Mountain News
State Journal-Register
Washington Post
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Memphis Commercial Appeal

One glaring omission in my mind is The Virginian-Pilot. The photo and design team on that newspaper have consistently made that newspaper sing.

Now, it's your turn. Are there any newspapers that should have made this list but didnt? Enter the link or links in the comments section and tell me how and why they should qualify.

    First and foremost, the St. Petersburg Times — but maybe I’m biased. I’ve been calling it “Photopia” for the last few months. Photojournalists are given ample time and resources to make their ideas happen, and that’s coupled with great play when the work warrantes it… Not to mention the fact that the Times currently has several photo-generated photo columns running at the moment. Everyone from upper, upper management down is very visually savvy. The photo dept. is led by some quality folks — Sue Morrow and Boyzell Hosey, and rounded out with some of the most talented photojouranlists in the business.

    Other papers I would add are:
    The Dallas Morning News
    The L.A. Times
    The Eugene Register Guard
