Journalism Conventions• Timeliness — the images have meaning in thecontext of a recently published record of events.• Objectivity — the situation implied by the images is a fair and
accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone.
• Narrative — the images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to the viewer or reader on a cultural level.
Implied: Indicated or suggested without being directly stated
Depict: To represent something in words or images

Journalistic EthicsMost journalists share a common code of ethics which are:
-Truthfulness-Accuracy-Objectivity
Write the journalist ethics in your workbook
Images, written text and audio used when presenting a story can lead to conflict over these ethics because they are often misleading and untruthful

• Photojournalism is a particular form of Journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story.
![Page 6: PHOTOJOURNALISM Letizia Battaglia Franco Zecchin 1987 Steve McCurry Afghan Girl 1984](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062306/5a4d1bb77f8b9ab0599cf31f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• A picture is worth a thousand words and that’s why a photo can say so much about a current affair, event or subject
![Page 7: PHOTOJOURNALISM Letizia Battaglia Franco Zecchin 1987 Steve McCurry Afghan Girl 1984](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062306/5a4d1bb77f8b9ab0599cf31f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Photojournalism adds to the written word and can support a story with visual proof.
• However, photographs often crop out significant elements of a picture in order to produce a misleading image. This has been used for various motivations by photographers.
Example :President Franklin Roosevelt,
stricken with polio and confined to a wheelchair, was photographed
with close-ups by sympathetic photographers who did not want to
show the public the full extent of his feeble condition.

• Photojournalism has a long and cherished tradition of truthfulness. The impact of the visual image on a viewer comes directly from the belief that the "camera never lies." As a machine, the camera faithfully and unemotionally records a moment in time. But a machine is only as truthful as the hands that guide it.
