1978
Photojournalism Professor Honored


 
Professor Angus McDougall, head of the photojournalism sequence, was awarded the Joseph A. Sprague Memorial Award, press photography's highest honor. McDougall led the photojournalism sequence from 1972-1982 and served as director of the Pictures of the Year competition. As a Milwaukee Journal photographer in the 1940s and 1950s, McDougall was an innovator in the use of high-speed strobe technology and in using multiple pictures to tell stories. He co-authored the definitive picture-editing books Visual Impact in Print and Picture Editing and Layout.

Students learned the fundamentals of photojournalism (top) under the tutelage of legendary photographer Angus McDougall (bottom).
