When I think about photojournalism, I think about capturing a moment in a photograph that explains without words what is going on. There are many images that impact me and shows the raw emotion of what the person is dealing with but most recent events showing the carnage that is going on in Syria, it is powerful to watch some of the images. Watching the desperation of parents trying to protect their children. Innocent children subjected to the effects of war, losing their lives because others can't get along.
Photojournalism has been around for many years and has captured so many powerful moments through history. It doesn't just tell the story, but for the reader, makes it real. You feel their pain, or joy. It gives the story depth and makes it easier for the reader to relate. Photos are vital in the world of journalism and journalism would not be as impacting if it weren't for the images that go with the stories.
