Healthcare in Rural America

They came through the hollers with the winding clear streams, lush overhanging trees and ancient rocky hillsides wet with dew and morning fog. They drove in old jalopies and walked over the mountain roads. They came from Haysi, Dante, Big Stone Gap, Wise and other small towns near the Kentucky border too small to have a name.

Outreach and Collaboration

America Storytelling Grant

American Reportage will offer an annual grant to further a documentary project by a visual journalism student or recent graduate that focuses on issues facing the people of the United States.

The America Storytelling Grant will be announced soon.

Group Projects

Because of the racial, ethnic and political diversity of the United States, different regions of the country sometimes reflect diametrically opposed ideas about the issues that face its population.

Due to the geographic diversity of its members, American Reportage is uniquely positioned to tackle large-scale projects across the United States that can document these differences and better illustrate the overall story.

American Reportage is a one-stop shop for publications or organizations requiring images or video from different regions of the country relating to a single theme.

 

 

Education Outreach

American Reportage takes an active role in building awareness to the issues we report on first-hand as journalists.

Our members are available for presentations and lectures on topics we cover in the field. If your organization or school is interested in having one of our journalists as a guest speaker, please contact them directly.

Please consider supporting our outreach efforts. 

 

America Reimagined Project

America Reimagined is Boyd’s Station’s innovative effort to engage, motivate, mentor and give voice to emerging photojournalists documenting dramatic changes in daily life across a wide swath of America. Boyd’s Station, a non-profit, will curate and archive photographs and narratives as a collection and resource to promote understanding of the disruptive nature of a 21st Century pandemic and the racial unrest that is sweeping the country.

The members of American Reportage are honored to collaborate with Boyd’s Station on the America Reimagined project and present it on the collective’s website. As photojournalists dedicated to comprehensive storytelling of the American experience, we understand the gravity of this story and also the importance of giving a voice to emerging photojournalists. In addition to this presentation,
