Photojournalist
"Photojournalism isn't about pretty pictures... it's about images that tell a story, about capturing a significant moment in time..."Wikipedia describes photojournalism this way:
"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, and in some cases to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (such as 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)."
Very Important: All media posts to the group must be approved by an Admin before they'll show up... ONLY photos etc. related to one of the group assignments should be added to the group! Please add the correct tag for that assignment to your posts, in case it doesn't end up in the right gallery, we'll know where to put it.
