photojournalists
Camera-wielding news gatherers
Photojournalists are journalists who report stories primarily through photographs rather than written text.
They document news events, conflicts, and human interest stories for newspapers, magazines, and news websites: Photojournalists captured the aftermath of the earthquake.
The work often requires being present at dangerous or emotionally intense situations.
