Noteworthy takeaways from this article:
“For me photojournalism is more than just taking pretty pictures or creating newsworthy moments,” Kim explains. “It is about studying people and their situations and making an image in the most human way possible.” ... Although she believes that in many ways technology has made photojournalism easier, she also says “it has made people sloppy. I see it in the endless slideshows [online]—publications put up 60 images in a slideshow just because they are going for more clicks.” ... “I think digital [cameras] allow photographers to get deeper into their stories,” she explains, “ Photographers can shoot more freely and don’t have to worry about the cost of each picture.”
