journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other

photography, social documentary photography, street
photography or celebrity photography) by complying with a
rigid ethical framework which demands that the work is
both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly
journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that
