news photos

Captured current events

News photos are photographs documenting current events, typically published in newspapers, magazines, or online news outlets.

The term emphasizes the journalistic function—capturing newsworthy moments rather than artistic composition: The news photos from the earthquake showed entire neighborhoods flattened.

News photos aim for immediacy and authenticity, often becoming iconic records of historical moments.
