The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that all our classes have been online this semester. With the exception of a few classes in multimedia, we have been able to complete all classes and assignments through online learning. The biggest challenge was to find stories we could cover. With many regions of Ontario imposing significant restrictions on gathering, it proved difficult to find events to cover. Even the ones we can always count on, like Remembrance Day ceremonies, were difficult to find and cover.

Despite the restrictions imposed by the current pandemic, our photojournalism college program is moving ahead. Our classes are mostly online and I must say I do miss the interaction with our teaching staff and the other students but we’re making the most of it.

Well, I’m back at school for my second and final year of the Photojournalism program at Loyalist College in Belleville. Due to the pandemic, most of our classes are being conducted online. It takes a bit a getting used to but we are making the most of it.

I have now completed my first year of the Photojournalism program at Loyalist College in Belleville. It’s been an eye-opening experience. We are learning the art of story-telling through images, captions, short articles and even short videos.
