Abstract
This article examines the work practices of news photographers and a nascent revolution in the context of news production. Two photographic forms—print and television—have traditionally operated in separate professional spheres. Now convergent internet technology is compelling newspaper organizations to demand that their photographers learn to shoot and edit video. The work of these new broadband journalists is appearing on the web as everything from musical slide shows to highly produced, narrated video stories. Using ethnographic field visits, interviews, and discourse from trade organizations, this article examines print, television, and broadband photojournalistic practice and the revolutionary changes underway in visual newswork.
