I am a recent grad with a BFA in photo and film. I am throwing around the idea of pursuing a masters in photojournalism... specifically abroad. I have heard good things about a couple programs in London as well as in Rome. I speak Italian fluently and live in the US so obviously either of those locations would be a good fit. If anyone has suggestions or knowledge of whether or not this would be a worthwhile venture I would love any advice. I realize that most people shun the idea for a masters in photojournalism but due to some unexpected changes with the last year I am in a somewhat difficult timeline for pursuing internships at newspapers. I should say that I am not opposed to seeking out a masters in something related such as journalism... my passion lies in storytelling and calling attention to social issues so even some kind of human rights/policy degree would be worth considering if it could be relevant to my photography. Thanks in advance for any help.
