Journal Journeys
The Lansing Journal is a community newspaper, and we look for opportunities to involve our community in its pages. Our “Community Photography” feature started out as a themed photo assignment but soon evolved into The Lansing Journal Journeys, an award-winning feature that showcases people bringing The Lansing Journal to creative locations. Contributors are invited to email photos to [email protected] with the following three pieces of information:
1. The names of any people in the photo;
2. Some information about the location;
3. The name of the person who took the photo.
We publish Lansing Journal Journeys photos as soon as possible online and, depending on the timing, in our next print edition.
