Photojournalism

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. The images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events. The situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone. 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 (e.g., physical danger, weather, crowds, physical access). The "Golden Age of Photojournalism" is often considered to be roughly the 1930s through the 1950s. A new style of magazine and newspaper appeared that used photography more than text to tell stories. Below are some links to the work of a few photojournalism artists.
