Photojournalism truly started with the beginning of Time-Life Magazine.
The equipment and knowledge before hand, was not advanced enough to make
it a really big part of journalism. Although now it's considered a major
part of portraying world and local events, it has its real history in capturing
Wolrd War II. During the war years, this was a major information relayer
for those back in the United States who could not see first-hand how the
military was really responding in certain situations.
There were several photojournalist that were truely able to capture such
vital pionts in history, through a single film negative. Eventhough there
are many important journalists here are just a few worth mentioning:
