Photojournalism:
The Professionals’ Approach
By Kenneth Kobré
Review by Peter Bauer
The author crafted this book primarily by talking to and working with professional photojournalists, dedicated news photogra- phers. These days, however, there’s another breed of “photo- journalist”—the reporter him- or herself. It’s not unusual to find a reporter (typically doing an interview, profile, or minor story) packing a small camera with which he or she can document the story. If you fit into this category, there’s a lot here for you (as well for budding photojournalists). The author covers a lot of ground, and in great depth, ranging from equipment to vari- ous types of photojournalism (sports, features, general news, etc.) to ethics and law. There’s a very interesting chapter on the history of photos in journalism. And the final chapter provides great advice about how to move from photography in general to photojournalism, including info on the value of a degree in photojournalism, internships, and freelancing (beginners should read this first). n
