Photo journalism is a distinct form
of journalism that creates images in order to tell a story, commonly through the
news and media. It is usually referred only to still images, but in can also
refer to video used in broadcast journalism in some cases.
Photojournalism is distinguished
from other branches of photography by complying with a strict and ethical
framework which demands that the work is to be honest and impartial telling the
story in strict journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that
contribute to the news-media and practice the art of communication through photographs.
The history of photojournalism is
important because it will reinforce that the practice of photojournalists
follow such a strict code allowing you to rely on their images more easily.
Photojournalists are not here to trick the mind into seeing something that is
not true. They are here to bring stories to life through images. You can read a two page story on an event and
still not feel the impact as looking at a photo.
At times it is much easier and applies more impact, to show just one picture of what has happened or what is going on than to tell the story through words. When you see a photo you will have some type of reaction, maybe good, maybe bad but, that's what photos are suppose to do. There suppose to ignite some type of reaction and that's done through photojournalism.
