Features: In the past, the "News Photography" course in journalism schools primarily focused on photography techniques. However, after the 1990s, with the development of news photography practice, news photography theory gained increasing attention from news photography practice departments. Higher education institutions followed the principle of "learning by doing," strengthening the research and teaching of news photography theory and achieving some research results. Nevertheless, continuous development and improvement are still needed. This book, dedicated solely to news photography theory, explores the essence of news photography, its fundamental theories, and specific news photography work, encouraging rational reflection on the work of photojournalists and picture editors. It aims to help people understand the nature of the world and human society, as well as to explore the basic principles, fundamental laws, ultimate goals, and means to achieve those goals in news photography.
