Here are some negative thoughts on the part of one who doesn’t care for photojournalism:

I think photojournalism is hilarious because it’s such a sham.

Journalism is meant to be objective - just the facts, presented unequivocally, with the reporter being unbiased and outside the topic.

And of course, adding “real” photographs should make it even more so, right? But photography is irrevocably subjective! Every photograph ever taken was biased.

The lighting, the composition, the focus, every tiny bit of a photograph is determined (intentionally or accidentally) by the photographer. And what’s even worse, is that photojournalism presents these images as what a witness would see if they were there.

In trying to become even more objective, photojournalism has mired itself in total subjectivity and can never be redeemed.
