Take many photos, and then choose 5-10 to upload. Include close-ups of interesting things or faces, medium shots showing what a person or small group is doing, and a few wide shots showing the entire event.  Choose the best, clearest, most interesting photos. Do not send multiple photos of the same thing, but 5-10 different photos so that editors can decide what is best.

Photo editing

Per the National Press Photographers Association (see below), journalistic photos should be minimally edited. Practically speaking, you are limited to the following edits:

• Cropping - You should crop out extraneous parts of the photo from the top, bottom and sides to focus more clearly on the subject.

• Contrast/brightness - You can adjust contrast and brightness to clarify the image.

What you cannot do: "Photoshop" people or elements in/out of the photo.

Cutlines (captions)

The person who takes the photo writes the cutline. Do not submit photos without cutlines or expect editors to write cutlines!

Include a separate cutline for each photo. For photos in which five or fewer faces can be seen, you need the names of each person whose face can be seen. For students, get the name, age and major. For staff or faculty, get the name and position. Check spelling of all names.
