Stan McKinney publishes new textbook on photojournalism Well known to Adair Countians as former editor of the Central Kentucky News-Journal, Stan McKinney is now assistant professor of journalism at CU. "Beginning Journalism" is his third book. By Joan C. McKinney, news and publications coordinator CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Stan McKinney, assistant professor of journalism at Campbellsville University, has written his third textbook, "Beginning Photojournalism." McKinney's book covers the basics of photojournalism including different types of cameras, lenses, exposure, composition and photojournalism ethics. The book is designed for beginning photojournalism students. "I had planned to eventually write a book on photojournalism," McKinneysaid. "Necessity forced me to write the book a few years earlier than I had anticipated." McKinney explained that the book he had used for years in his beginningphotojournalism class was discontinued earlier this year. A search for a replacement text that covered the basics the way he preferred for them to be covered was unsuccessful. "I began writing the book in March," McKinney said. "The text wasfinished in May. By June I had most of the photos selected and the bookhad been edited for the first time." The book's design was completed by McKinney in late July. It was editedagain and immediately went to the printer. The 200-page book contains more than 75 photographs, all taken by McKinney. Most were taken by him while he was editor of the Central Kentucky News-Journal in Campbellsville. They include news, feature and sports photographs, many of which have won awards from the Kentucky Press Association and the Society of Professional Journalists. The hard cover book has a dust jacket and is printed on photo qualitypaper."Because it is a photography book and contains many photos, I thought itwas important that the quality be as good as possible," McKinney said. "I spent quite a bit of time selecting a printer that could produce ahigh-quality book at the lowest possible cost for students." he said. After completing his first book in 2005, McKinney created his ownpublishing company so he could work directly with printers and keep bookprices as low as possible while maintaining high quality. He has alsodesigned and laid out all of his books. Many of the photos in "Beginning Photojournalism" are used with thepermission of the Stan McKinney Central Kentucky News-Journal DigitalImage Collection, A.B. Colvin Baptist Collection and Archives,Montgomery Library, Campbellsville University. The collection, a jointeffort of the Central Kentucky News-Journal and the Montgomery Library,will eventually contain more than 100,000 images taken by McKinney from1980 to 2000 while he was editor of the newspaper. McKinney is also the author of "The World Ends at the County Line: AGuide to Writing Stories People Want and Need to Read" and "Basic Desktop Publishing." This summer he also published a book of flower photos, "Glory in theFlower." All of the photos in the book were also raised in his garden at his home in Campbellsville. His textbooks are available at the Campbellsville University Barnes & Noble Campus Booksellers. His flower book is available at Blurb.com and may be found on that site by searching for the title in the company's on-line bookstore.
