What is "photojournalism"?
Photojournalism is a form of journalism where photographers capture images to tell news stories and report on current events. The goal is to document and convey information about significant events, issues, or human experiences through photographs. Photojournalists often work in challenging conditions to provide a visual account of newsworthy events, helping audiences understand and engage with the stories being reported. Their images are used in newspapers, magazines, and online platforms to complement written articles and provide a powerful, visual perspective on the news.
Example
The power of photojournalism lies in its ability to capture raw emotions and tell compelling stories in a single image.
Many iconic moments in history have been immortalized through the lens of photojournalism, shaping our collective memory of significant events.
