Make a career out of writing and taking photographs.
Photojournalists work in publishing (electronic or print media) either self employed (freelance) or in house (employed by a publisher); contributing images and (in smaller enterprises), writing as well to published work. Opportunities are relatively strong and diverse for skilled photographers, but for the person who can also write text and process images using software, demand for this mix of skills has been very high.

What is Photojournalism?
Photojournalism is slightly different to other forms of professional photography in that it adheres to the principles of journalism, which are – Accuracy, Timeliness, Fair representation of the context of events, Reporting of facts, and Accountability.

For example, a portrait photographer is also documenting an event, but their responsibility is to the client and what the client wants to see. A journalist, on the other hand produces news for the public, and should be accurate. A photojournalist also has a responsibility to put things into context.

Newspapers and magazines continue to make heavy use of photographs. One photograph can tell so much more than words. Nowadays newspapers and magazines will often not rely so heavily on just photographs – they will also make use of words and images to add more to their content.
