Media Communication And Photo Journalism

Photo Journalism

Photo journalism is a particular form of journalism that creates images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work is both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media. The book concludes by outlining an appropriate, crucial role for photojournalism in the future development of humankind.
