The Baltimore Association of Black Journalists (BABJ) returned from summer hiatus with a September 25, 2021 meeting focusing on visual storytelling. The “Photojournalism in a Pandemic” panel featured four local veteran journalists sharing their experiences over the years, while explaining how the pandemic has changed their careers forever.
More than 10 people attended the fireside chat discussion. The panelists included:
- Manny Locke, Photographer, WMAR-TV
- Karl Merton Ferron, Photographer, Baltimore Sun
- Eugene Russell, Photographer, FOX 5
- Fred Slade, Photographer, WMAR-TV
Baltimore and Washington D.C. photography and videography professionals shared their passion for the art of visual storytelling. The panel also explored their heroic stories from working in the field before and during the global pandemic.
The meeting concluded with a candid and lively “Ask Me Anything” questions and answers session.
