Kyser Lough

Kyser Lough is an Assistant Professor of Journalism at the University of Georgia (USA), where he teaches and researches visual communication and solutions journalism. His solutions journalism research investigates how it is conceptualized/created, audience effects, and the interplay of words and images. His latest work in this area includes a systematic review of the first six years of solutions journalism research broadly, as well as one focused on effects studies. Recently, he followed the recipients of the inaugural Solutions Visual Journalism grant to study how they carried out their projects and to see what more we can learn about solution-oriented photojournalism. Prior to pursuing his Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Lough spent 10 years as a photojournalist, reporter, and public relations practitioner.
