Whats Photo Journalism?

Photo journalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of material for news or media) that creates images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work is both honest and can not choose one side while telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists also create pictures that contribute to the news media.
