Photojournalism is a particular form of
journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material
for publication or broadcast) 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 (such as documentary photography,
social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity
photography) by the qualities of:
- Timeliness — the images have
meaning in the context of a recently published record of
events.
- Objectivity — the situation
implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation
of the events they depict in both content and tone.
- Narrative — the images combine
with other news elements to make facts relatable to the
viewer or reader on a cultural level.
Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter
but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry
photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles
(physical danger, weather, crowds).
