TIPS FOR WRITING CAPTIONS

OR CUT LINES

Be brief and to the point,

but do not make it too

short that it leaves
readers wondering about
the situation involved.
PHOTOJOURNALISM 2015
jennylyn092090

Do not omit words that are

important for smooth reading.

Be accurate and careful with
the names of the persons
concerned.

PHOTOJOURNALISM 2015
jennylyn092090

As much as possible, say when

and where the picture is taken,

especially if it is a news picture.
Use present tense to describe
action.
