The overall goal of this study was to identify what employers perceive as being the most desirable preparation for newspaper photographers. Specific objectives of this study were: (1)To determine the relative value that employers place upon various educational and work experiences. (2)To determine the relative value that employers place upon knowledge of various subjects. (3)To determine where employers feel that knowledge of important subjects could best be gained. (4)To develop a curriculum for newspaper photographers which will best prepare individuals for job entry. / A survey instrument was designed to measure the perceived importance of specific experiences and knowledge about specific topics (subjects) relative to newspaper photography. The survey instrument was sent to the employer of photographers in each of the 112 daily newspapers in the states of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia; the employer was usually the managing editor of the newspaper. / Replies were analyzed and, based on the perceived importance of specific experiences and knowledge about specific subjects, recommendations for career preparation were made. A two-year course of study was developed that would give aspiring newspaper photographers the formal education and training perceived by the employers as being the most desirable. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-03, Section: A, page: 1118. / Thesis (Educat.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
