 Based on contributions from the Wilson Hicks International Conference on Photocommunication Arts, University of Miami, Florida  FOCAL PRESS, London

The list of contributors to this book is a virtual "Who's Who" of world-famous photographers, editors and art directors. 

They provide a comprehensive view of the craft of photojournalism and bring together the writer, photographer and editor so that they can understand each other's problems and work together as a team. 

The editor, R Smith Schuneman, RFA, PhD, is professor of journalism and mass communication at the University of Minnesota. 

He compiled this selection from 300 reels of tapes recorded at the Wilson Hicks International Conferences on Photocommunication Arts at the University of Miami, Florida over a period of fifteen years. 

Dr Schuneman has divided the text into "five dimensions" of photographic communication: 

1 Definition of the Medium. How is it unique ? What can it accomplish and what are its basic ingredients? What has been its heritage? 

2 The Process. This section shows how "group journalism" developed at 'Life', 'Look', 'National Geographic and other magazines where a group, not an individual, creates and edits each story. 

3 Personal Viewpoints and Philosophies. Creativity, individualism, intuition, craftsmanship, and enjoyment of the subject and the medium are all examined from the personal commitment and sensitivity of Ernst Haas to the delightful anecdotes and serious advice of David Douglas Duncan. 

4 Professional Problems of Photographic Communicators. Publishers, editors, agents and photographers write about shrinking and ex- panding markets, needs and goals, and the economic crisis in magazine publishing. 

5 International View. Photographers and editors from around the world appraise changes in the past decade and consider the future, including the use of photographs in international propaganda. 

This unique collection provides sound professional advice for study about, or work within the field of photographic communication.
