No Caption Needed

The website No Caption Needed is one of the smarter blogs around on the subject of photography. This is how they describe themselves:

No Caption Needed is a book and a blog, each dedicated to discussion of the role that photojournalism and other visual practices play in a vital democratic society.

The site is written by two professors, not photography teachers but "Rhetoric and Public Culture" teachers. Robert Hariman teaches at Northwestern University, in the department of communication studies. John Louis Lucaites is professor of rhetoric and public culture, department of communication and culture and adjunct professor of American studies, Indiana University.

That said, they don't get too academic (because I know that's not too cool these days.) But they do explore issues of concern, speculation and interest to the practice and consumption of contemporary photography.
