First Military Visual Journalism Class Completes Program

Sailors from the U.S. Navy have been gracing the halls of the Newhouse School for six decades. That’s when the Advanced Military Visual Journalism (AMVJ) program was created to improve the photography and communication skills of photographer mates. The two-semester, 30 credit program allowed sailors to return to the fleet better equipped to tell our nation’s stories. Fifteen sailors comprised the inaugural AMVJ class of 1964.

As technology evolves, so has the AMVJ program, which now includes advanced motion media and advanced graphic design concentrations.
