Must Watch: Power of Photojournalism

By Alice Yoo on March 31, 2011
If you're a photography enthusiast (and if you're reading this, you probably are), you will thoroughly enjoy these videos describing the power of photojournalism. Made by The Annenberg Space for Photography and Arclight Productions, they ask both editors and winners of the 66th Picture of the Year International awards what photojournalism means to them. Why is their work important? What kind of challenges do these photographers face? Why do they do it?

Talk about inspiring.

Why do you think photojournalism is so important?
