Photojournalism
Despite 24-hour television news coverage, the still photograph remains the ideal medium for capturing all aspects of human emotion, drama and tragedy. This book features powerful photographs from the world's greatest news photographers, covering the major events of the past 150 years.
Assignments
Uncompromising and extraordinarily moving, Assignments - The Press Photographer's Year is a unique reflection of twelve months of world events, as seen through the eyes of some of the finest news photographers working today.

Witness
The events of the past few years, from 9/11 to the South Asian tsunami disaster, have once again shown us that despite round-the-clock news coverage, the Internet and multi-channel cable TV, the still image is as powerful as ever. Photography remains the ideal medium for capturing all aspects of human emotion, drama and tragedy. Witness features powerful and stirring images from the world's greatest photojournalists, as well as providing a history of the medium. Starting with some of the first key figures such as Roger Fenton, who photographed the Crimean war with a bulky large format camera, it moves on through the decades covering defining events in our history from the Great Depression, to space missions, the dismantling of the Berlin Wall and the recent Iraq war.
New York Press Photographers
New York City has earned its place as the media capital of the world, and its newspapers have chronicled life, death, triumph, and tragedy. While people like Damon Runyon, Walter Winchell, and Jimmy Breslin are remembered for how they wrote about the news, the people who documented it visually are mostly forgotten. For many decades, photographers who captured iconic images for New York newspapers did so anonymously--picture credit lines were a rarity. This is the story of the people behind the pictures, a history of the historians. In 1915, a group of lensmen formed a fraternal organization to promote their craft and support one another through hardship. A century later, the New York Press Photographers Association (NYPPA) is regarded as the oldest press association in America, and it still advocates for its members in an ever-changing field. At work or at play, New York's photojournalists are hardly the nameless, faceless bunch history would have us believe them to be.
Worth a Thousand Words
Stunning photography is a critical component of any news media. Though young photojournalists might lack the sophisticated equipment of a professional, they can use this resource to learn how to get great shots by paying attention to light, getting in the right position, and focusing on a center of interest and limiting dead space. Also discussed is the National Press Photographers Association's Code of Ethics. Young photographers will find all the tips they need to create stimulating images that will enhance their newspapers and yearbooks.
Shooters
The occupational world of electronic news-gathering photographers is the focus of this study, which seeks to reveal their perceptions of their work and the knowledge and competence that underlie it. These goals are accomplished through the ethnographic analysis of qualitative data gathered through participant observation in their natural setting--at work. A reflexive description of the data explores the emerging nature of the occupation, the context of markets within which it exists, the people involved, and the practical skills required for the work.
The Making of Visual News
The Making of Visual News sets out to show how photography has changed the way we read, report and sell the news. It investigates how photographs first became news images at the end of the nineteenth century and how magazines in the USA, the UK, France and Germany have put them to use ever since. Drawing on a wide selection of images, author Thierry Gervais (in collaboration with Gaëlle Morel) analyses news photographs in the context of their original presentation in print. Highly illustrated, the book contains 85 full colour magazine layouts and spreads, offering the reader a view of how photographs were and are used in print publications, including Life, Picture Post, the Berliner Illustr...
