Langton received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas in 1995 and is a faculty member in the University of Miami's School of Communication where he serves as Visual Journalism Program Director. During his tenure, he developed new curriculum and implemented a Master of Arts in Multimedia Journalism. Prior to joining the Miami faculty, he was a faculty member in the University of Missouri School of Journalism. "WKU's School of Journalism & Broadcasting has long attracted many of the nation's best students and faculty members," Langton said. "Since my days as a graduate student at the University of Missouri - more than 25 years ago - I have been aware of WKU's success and excellence. I'm honored to have been chosen as Director of the School and excited to begin working with its faculty and students this summer." Langton has extensive professional experience both in the United States and internationally. As Director of Photography for Copley Chicago Newspapers, he helped lead a team that won more photography awards than any other newspaper and twice produced the nation's "Newspaper Photographer of the Year." Langton also has significant experience in Latin America. While serving as Director of Photography for El Universo, Ecuador's largest newspaper, he helped change the concept of visual storytelling in Ecuador. He co-directed the Discovering Ecuador book project. This endeavor involving 38 top international photographers and editors was published as a hardcover book in English, Spanish and French. More recently, along with friend and colleague Pablo Corral Vega, he created and directed the inaugural Pictures of the Year International-Latino America photojournalism contest in which photographers from virtually every Latin American nation submitted more than 17,000 photographs. Langton has a strong publication and exhibition record. His most recent book is Photojournalism and Today's News: Creating Visual Reality published in 2009 by Wiley-Blackwell. He has edited and curated several exhibits, including an exhibit in conjunction with Pictures of the Year International's archives featuring the Presidency since 1944. He is working with the World Press Photo organization interviewing winners of their international contest for their website and archive and their global exhibit. David Lee, Dean of Potter College of Arts & Letters, called Langton an outstanding choice for the School directorship. "Loup brings strong credentials as a practicing professional and as an academic," Dr. Lee said. "He's a leader in journalism education for the 21st century, and his international experience fits very well with President Ransdell's emphasis on WKU's international reach." About the school: The School of Journalism & Broadcasting has some 900 students in seven different majors -- Advertising, Broadcasting, Film, Mass Communication, News/Editorial Journalism, Public Relations and Photojournalism. The school also houses the Kentucky High School Media Institute, Imagewest Advertising/PR Agency, and WWHR-FM. Designated a Program of Distinction by the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 2000, WKU's School of Journalism & Broadcasting has ranked among the top eight nationally for 17 consecutive years in the Hearst overall intercollegiate competition, often called the Pulitzers of college journalism. The school is accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. This story was posted on 2011-05-10 02:23:10
