This review is from: Digital Photojournalism (Paperback)

Photojournalism has always fascinated me, and I was really glad to find this book that provided a glimpse at what the genre is all about. Digital photography's immediacy really lends itself to journalism, as the examples in this book prove. Highly recommended.
