Welcome to Photojournalism

Welcome

Hello! I’m Professor Emily Johnson, and I’m an independent (freelance) multimedia journalist. I’ve reported mostly internationally, but also here in the US and in NYC specifically. I’ve worked in a variety of media, including radio and video, but one constant has been that whatever the assignment, I’ve always been my own photojournalist.
