With respect to a legend.

February 28, 2009

Our goal here is to publish work from WKU photojournalism students and faculty, however, this week’s news out of Denver is a special situation. We here at WKU would like to express our sympathy for the death of a truly amazing news organization. Many of our graduates have passed through the doors at the Rocky – both on internships and as staff members. The Rocky Mountain News will be missed and our students will have one less place to admire and use as an example of truly great visual journalism. Click here to read more about the making of this historic video and what it meant to the editors of this production.

MOUNTAIN WORKSHOPS

Since 1976, the Mountain Workshops has been gathering stories of our shared history. This unprecedented visual collection of a rich past reveals the everyday life of the people and places that make our Commonwealth unique and truly, one-of-a-kind.

We believe in the power of human connection through storytelling, and we create and preserve a valuable cultural archive of Kentucky life.
