Working in the digital age

               There are two frequently asked questions, are bloggers photojournalists and do photojournalists blog? There are many different perspectives on the first question. In my opinion, bloggers certainly can be photojournalists, and I think photojournalists do have blogs. Some say that all the pictures they have that are worth sharing have stories written with them so there is nothing left to share on a blog . So in my opinion, blogging is more of a hobby.

Help me, along with many others, stop the opioid crisis through education. Sometimes statistics do not speak to people so here is a project I created that marries statistics and photographs of the struggle experienced by opioid addicts. A source that inspired me a lot and perfectly depicts what I think will stop the opioid crisis is James Natchwey's "The Opioid Diaries."  Visit my project "My Take on the Opioid Epidemic"  to understand and learn about my view on the opioid crisis. According to Drugabuse.gov,  "Everyday more than 130 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids." According to Marketwatch.com, "A new study found that both deaths from opioid overdose and opioid prescriptions rose in areas if the country where physicians received more opioid-related marketing from pharmaceutical companies." An article on James Nachtwey's "The Opioid Diaries" read, "The result (of the crisis) is 'The Op...
