What is journalistic photography?

Journalistic photography uses images to tell a news story or share an idea – either with related text or on their own. The purpose of journalistic photography is to allow the photographer to share his or her firsthand perspective with immediacy and emotional resonance.

How is photography used in journalism?

Journalistic photography is used to engage audiences with images as the storytelling medium. Images are often used to illustrate a news story, especially when the story cannot be told as well through words alone. It can also be used to expand upon an existing topic or theme.
