Photojournalism: The art or practice of communicating news by photography.

The difference between photojournalism and a photo, is that a photo can be of anything just basically capturing light whether its blurring or meaningful. While photo journalism is a focused photo specifically aimed for the press so show you whats happening or any type of news.

NPPA: The National Press Photographers Association, a professional society that promotes the highest standards in visual journalism, acknowledges concern for every person’s need both to be fully informed about public events and to be recognized as part of the world in which we live.

NPPA code of ethics:

1. Be accurate and comprehensive in the representation of subjects.
2. Resist being manipulated by staged photo opportunities.
3. Be complete and provide context when photographing or recording subjects. Avoid stereotyping individuals and groups. Recognize and work to avoid presenting one’s own biases in the work.
4. Treat all subjects with respect and dignity. Give special consideration to vulnerable subjects and compassion to victims of crime or tragedy. Intrude on private moments of grief only when the public has an overriding and justifiable need to see.
5. While photographing subjects do not intentionally contribute to, alter, or seek to alter or influence events.
6. Editing should maintain the integrity of the photographic images’ content and context. Do not manipulate images or add or alter sound in any way that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.
7. Do not pay sources or subjects or reward them materially for information or participation.
8. Do not accept gifts, favors, or compensation from those who might seek to influence coverage.
9. Do not intentionally sabotage the efforts of other journalists.

We need the code of ethics so us people here and around the world receive accurate information and have the correct perspective of the world that we live in. If these codes were to be broken which are sometimes broken whether we know or not can be bad because rumors will start, conspiracy theory, and completely different ways of thinking.
