Photographs have been important to the world of journalism,
but today with the help of Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, photojournalists
can take their photography to the next level. The multimedia movement has
transformed photojournalism and photo slideshows with audio and galleries are
the two most common types of digital photo stories online. However, some
photographers have begun to explore more innovative presentations that
represent different variations of these concepts. Some have blurred the lines between
photo/audio slideshows, but the benefit of sound slides and photo galleries is
they have provided photojournalists with new options for storytelling.
Photo galleries are most useful for presenting many images, and
provide a different look at a single subject. Galleries contain captions, and
sometimes using audio clips with each image, or both, it just depends on the
journalist.
Ultimately, photographs have always been important in
journalism, but with the rise of multimedia, photographs are even more
important than before.
