My aim for this feature story is to go in depth on photojournalism in today's media landscape, and to find out what students who are interested in going into the fields of photojournalism and/or photography need to know about these fields in order to succeed.
I have been in contact with Patrick Smith, a Towson University graduate and freelance photojournalist. I will be talking to him this coming Monday on this subject.
My second source that I have arranged an interview with is Karlo Gesner of Deep Creek Lake, MD. He is an independent photographer, and also does photo assignments for The Republican, the newspaper of the great small town of Oakland, MD. My freind Jeff told me of Gesner when I was interviewing him about his upcoming album. Gesner did the photography for the album. When I first Emailed him yesterday he was actually on his way back from a photo shoot in Annapolis. I really look forward to meeting with him this Saturday.
Both of these photographers, as their websites show, do incredible work. Here are the links to their websites. They are both worth the time.

I am also trying to get in contact with Monica Lopossay, the photojournalism professor here at Towson University. She would be a great source given the subject matter of my story.
So that is where I am sitting right now on this feature. If all goes well, this should be a great story. Keeping it 500 - 600 words is going to be the challenge.
Stay tuned for your feature presentation....and following the show stay tuned for an audio story to come out of all of this.
