There is a lot to choose from when somebody tells you to go to the website VisualJournalism. It all depends on the ending - in fact you have seven choices …

visualjournalism.info

org

visualjournalism.org

dk

visualjournalism.dk

net

visualjournalism.net

eu_be

visualjournalism.eu

The .dk site is inactive, however, - and the .net-domain is in it’s redemptionperiod, so now will be a good time to line up and place an order on it, if you want to become part of the VJ-family.

The newest site is the .info site which launched just 14 days ago after living a its former life as an university blog. Welcome … It looks like some interesting content. (But how can you live with that text-only frontpage, when you call yourself visualjournalism?)

The .org site is not the most active - it belongs to a university and carries student-projects for the University of Miami.

Lastly we have the .eu and the .be -site which turns out to be the same -  a portfolio for the photographer Tom Palmaers.

What is a visual journalist?
What I find very interesting in visiting the family-members of Visual Journalism is that they centers heavily on photography and multimediaproduction. And as there are a lot more photographers than infographic artists it might end up being a photographic term. If you tell someone that you’re a visual journalist people will assume that you’re out there taking pictures or shooting video?

Bonus - if you itch uncontrollably to start a VJ-domain you could also go for visualjournalist.com - it’s for sale for a piffling $695. What a bargain (not).
