Review: Great informative read - Photojournalism, the professionals approach is an excellent introduction to photojournalism. Introduction doesn't quite do justice to everything this book covers. A person with a solid understanding of photography could put his knowlege to use immediately following an in depth read of this book. I suppose most people would want to cover the subjuct more solidly to really feel comfortable joining the ranks of professional photojournalist, but this will give the long time hobbyist the start he needs to get started working in photojournalism professionally. This book has great insightful tips from professionals currently working in the business. It goes in depth in most conceivable areas a photojournalist would want to work; It covers everything from how to track down and cover breaking news stories to how to design an interesting feature. It covers the legal aspects of copywriting your photos, signing legal contracts including legal jargon and pitfalls to avoid, and avoiding trouble with legal officials. It also covers where to find work and how you will be expected to perform when you get a job. It reads like it is designed for a university 'introduction to journalism' course. I read it outside of any official student activities and found it easy to follow and very informative. I highly reccomend it to anyone interested in pursuing a career in photojournalism. Happy reading, -Zsen
Review: Believe the good reviews - I'm a print reporter who creates weekly slide shows for two hyperlocal sites. (That's a fancy term for online only community news) I can take a halfway decent photo, but I wanted to learn to think like a photojournalist. I bought this book after having a photograph turned down by another company. The editor said the photograph "didn't tell the story." Time to pull out the credit card. I read all the reviews and they are accurate. This is a great book. It's given me much to consider as I head out to do my slide shows. There's good technical information on lenses, camera bodies, strobe, portraits etc., but I appreciate chapters 10, 15 and 16: covering the issue, ethics and the law. I also bought the "Associated Press Guide to Photojournalism." It's a faster read than this book, but they make a good pair. If you want to learn the artistry of photography, this book might not be for you. But if you want to make powerful photos, I'd invest in this book. It's a keeper.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An amazing book for photographers!
*by T***G on February 12, 2016*

As a student major in journalism and mass media communication, I was required to purchase this print version that was written by Kenneth Kobre, a professional photojournalist who has spent his life telling stories by taking photos. The book is divided into 18 chapters, including hard news, features, sports and portraits, along with introducing practical experience, current equipment and camera technology, and high-impact photographs to create a professional view on photojournalism. First of all, I didn’t enjoy reading the book because of the thickness and absolutely long-winded sentences, but I started to take photographing as a serious career after looking at the powerful pictures in each chapter. Those images are shocking and touching my heart. Even though it is a textbook, still I finished reading it in less than a week. A new learner on photographing like me may focus more on the technique of shooting and photo editing. What I found useful was that the book covers some basic materials for beginners to learn about camera, such as camera bag, photo editing and covering the issues. I personally enjoyed the chapter of photo editing, while author mentioned that everyone could create an image based on their own imagines. A person with a solid understanding of photography could also put his knowledge to use immediately following an in depth read of this book. There are also some chapters like spot news and illusion which caught my eyes. The author picked strong pictures as examples to illustrate the importance of camera angles and lead the path of being a professional photographer. People who desire to read articles like those in National Geographic may find disappointed with this book. Though there are multiple stories are interesting, the book is still designed to be a photographing textbook. Also, this updated version of the book is worth the price if you do not have the previous version. The DVD has added a Sports Illustrated section but the rest is repeats of prior version. Some of the sections have new pictures and paragraphs, but for the most part, it is a rehash of the old edition. Fairly speaking, if you want to learn the artistry of photography, this book might not be the best for you. But if you want to make powerful and compelling photos, I would highly recommend this book.
