Summary:

About the book : The work of individual photographers is often documented, but this book aims to provide a comprehensive look at the work of photojournalists as a collective group of professionals. It includes biographies of some 200 major figures in the field. Author Marianne Fulton has drawn on firsthand recollections of the great photojournalists, picture editors and agency founders of our time. Her essays - along with those contributed by Estelle Jussim, Colin Osman, Sandra S.Phillips and William Stapp - explore issues of technology and truth, communication and confrontation. This is the story of legendary photographers and media powers, from Mathew Brady and William Randolph Hearst to the heyday of the "Life" photographers and the Pulitzer Prize winners of today. More than 400 illustrations create a pictorial history.
