Photojournalists report current events that affect people living today. Through photography we are able to translate a storey to the public. As a photojournalist, a question to ask is not “what is the story?” but “how is the story?” As a storyteller, and artist it is through the photos that we are able to express our interpolation. Majority of photojournalists focus on the a situation and how the people are affected by what’s going on. Contributing to magazines and newspapers is a way to make money. Susana Rabb photographs for:

Many photojournalists join groups such as the NPPA, Workers Film and Photo League, and Photoville International to stay informed and be apart of a journalist community. Also by joining these groups they protect your rights, and help you find work. The annual fee for these groups cost an average of 50-100 dollars.
The fist known photojournalists started in the mid 1800s. The reason was to report on the status of wars and to inform the people. They started out with portraits. The “Golden Age” of photojournalism happened during the 1930. Ones that paved the way during this time were people like Dorthea Lange, Walker Evens, Gordon Parks.
A place that I can always usually rely on a great photojournalist photo is the cover of the New York Times. The photo is always relevant and for the most part enticing. A photojournalist who work is admrable to me is a woman from Peru Susana Raab. I think she has a really interesting eye for shadows and framing in her photos.

Good stuff, but be a little more careful with the grammar and spelling. “Storey,” for example, is actually story. The “interpolation,” comment, is not clear. What do you mean. Just take a little more time, perhaps speak the words first, see if it sounds clear, then work -and rework- your text.
Good paper. I think you have a good grasp on the outlines of what the business is.
