Leslie White was Director of Photography at The Dallas Morning News from 2007-2014. She joined the Morning News in 1992 as the “Electronic Photo Editor,” helping to issue in the age of digital photojournalism at the paper. She’s done most of the jobs on the photo desk, including News Photo Editor, Assignments Editor and Assistant Director. Beginning in 1998 she took a 5-year hiatus from the Photo department to work for the paper’s web site, working on different forms of multimedia and web design. Eventually her first love, photojournalism, called her back to the paper in 2004. She helped lead the photo department’s transition from a strict still/newspaper environment to its increased emphasis on video, multimedia and use of the web. She hails from New Orleans and her first job was as a staff photographer at the Times-Picayune for two years.
