We are going to Samar!

The PCP Professional Photojournalism and Documentary Photography Workshop is going to the Visayas! The 16th edition of the workshop will be held in Borongan City, Eastern Samar on November 20-24. Throughout its history, the only comprehensive workshop on visual journalism given by working photojournalists has tried to reach as many practitioners willing to hone their skills by going as far north as Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, to as far down as Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte in the south, and more in between. This time, through the efforts of the local government of Eastern Samar, we are bringing the workshop closer to journalists in the Visayas region.

The five-day workshop tackles all the areas that are needed in the practice of photojournalism in today’s media landscape. Participants will go through an extensive workshop focusing on visual literacy, writing for publication, safety, and other skills that will be tested in hands-on field exercises, facilitated and given by journalists from different publications and agencies.
