A picture says a thousand words, we have all heard it, right? If there’s any kind of photography that justifies this statement, it’s photojournalism. Today I chose a sub-category of photo-journalism and made a collection of the best news photos.
According to me, a perfect news photo is the one which does not need a description line. The pictures you are about to see contain a story in themselves, text descriptions and stories won’t do any good to them.
These kind of photos are also called Documentary Photography.

Outstanding examples of modern photojournalism. Previous generations of photojournalists would be proud.
Hello Bill!
You know, your comment came within 2 minutes of publishing this post.
Such quick replies always pump me up.
Big Thanks for the appreciation.
A rich harvest of ‘supreme’ examples of photojournalism. The pixs surely speak volume but as news images ,certainly not all will fit that description. You also need to know that without appropriate captions explaining the context of these images, viewers ,like me will still want to know about what we refer to as the 5W & H in Journalism. Good selection no doubt.
Adeboye Ola!
First of all, thanks for appreciation. It’s always nice to receive a comment from somebody who knows the subject.
Let me re-describe my mind, these are the pics contain the quality that if we see one of them on a magazine cover, we get attracted towards it. These are the images that provoke us to know the 5W and 1H.
Thanks for reminding my old days when I learned this 5W and 1H rule, nostalgia is taking of over me now…
…. excellent photojournalism…. I am amazed !!
Thanks @Hermitbiker
sAd very sad
Yes, it definitely is very sad, let us all play our parts to change it.
All are good except military photos. Pictures with kids are more meaningful than others
Thanks for the comment. These are the best military photos I found without too much violence.
Heart touching pictures, my eyes are weeping to see that….
what happened to our world, everyone disturbed, Humanity is nowhere, Hoping for Peace.
We are all hoping for peace.. That’s why we make such posts, to point towards the issue and tell that it’s wrong.
Thank you for having a beautiful heart.

I’m making another post on the same topic, I consider that one of my best work at Designzzz. Don’t miss it. I think it’ll be published in a couple of weeks.

the picture alone create its own story and i love it very much!

Indeed that was the motive behind showcasing all these pictures, that a picture really does tell a thousand words.
