During one of the best classes I have ever taken in my undergraduate career, we learned about the changes implemented in the world of journalism.\u00c2\u00a0 As the world becomes more and more high tech and people tune into news via digital means, the way of the journalist has become not just limited to words but also to images.<\/p>\n
Photojournalism is an art that is taking its foothold in the world of journalism.\u00c2\u00a0 Photography has taken the world of professional journalism to a new level, moving readers by providing images that render the invisible, seemingly-irrelevant current event into a relevant image of reality.<\/p>\n
Where would we be now without our pictures?\u00c2\u00a0 What other media is as fluid and interchangeable as photography?\u00c2\u00a0 One person’s hobby can become capture a picture that speaks to people thousands of miles away– photojournalism is not necessarily limited to professionals.\u00c2\u00a0 What defines photojournalism is not that it tells about a world event in a newspaper or other news media, but photojournalism is about encapsulating one story in one picture.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not about the reporting of wars or governmental policies, but the reportage on the human condition often overlooked by regular news media.\u00c2\u00a0 In its essence, journalism, in all forms, is about speaking for those who have no voice.\u00c2\u00a0 And photojournalism is about presenting the face of those people who are not being heard.<\/p>\n
