"Kobre's text got me off the ground. No kidding. Since then, I have bought every edition and handed the last copy off to somebody who could really use it." -Jim MacMillan, Philadelphia Daily News, Associated Press 2005 Pulitzer Team "Kobre has inspired young photojournalists for many years through his teaching and watershed textbook about photojournalism, Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach. His plain spoken, factual approach to the heart and soul of photojournalism has made every photojournalist's career better and undoubtedly launched more than a few." -David Leeson, Dallas Morning News 2004 Pulitzer Prize for news, 2006 Dallas Morning News Photo Staff Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News "When the idea of being a photojournalist was a blissful daydream, I stumbled across Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach in a San Francisco library. It was everything I was looking for. It answered every question I had and was a clear decisive tool to help me get on my way." -Anne Wells, Los Angeles Times, 1997 Pulitzer Prize while at the Santa Rosa Press Democrat "I still have my tattered copy from fifteen years ago." -Todd Heisler, New York Times, 2006 Pulitzer Prize for feature Photography while at the Rocky Mountain News FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION: " I use this as the primary text for the basic photojournalism class. I also find us referring to it in the advanced classes, as well. Well organized, with good insight from people working in the field, and wonderful illustrations. One testimonial from my students--there are very few used copies of this book in our campus bookstore from year to year." -Dave Burman, Hawkeye Community College, Waterloo, Iowa "This is a comprehensive textbook brimming with excellent examples of photojournalism. This book is for any photojournalism student or working pro who wants insight inot how the best in the business go about turning out great photographs." -Jim McNay, Books Institute of Photography "...does an excellent job keeping up with the changing industry." -Greg Patterson, Stephen F.
