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.
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.
