什麼是新聞攝影？
新聞攝影與廣告或藝術攝影不同，它要傳達的是新聞，所以有幾件事是重要的：新聞是一個剛發生，幾乎還無人知道或是一個持續發生的反常情況，例 如大量難民不斷越過邊界，或地球暖化加劇；新聞是一件對讀者很重要或對許多人造成極大影響的事件，比方金融市場崩盤或戰爭爆發。
一張新聞照片將世界的某些狀態透過影像分享給讀者，並藉此讓讀者與事件產生關聯。許多在戰區或飢荒和災難現場等困境下依舊拍照的攝影記者，驅使他們繼續如此的動力也就在此。他們以照片與世人分享各地正在發生的事，並期待人們或許會對某些問題伸出援手。
新聞照片會以新的手法或觀點呈現新聞或定位重要的社會議題，例如本年度蘇門答臘紅毛猩猩的系列照片。此外，也有些新聞照片是涵蓋了更多事件背 景的深度報導，比方今年的伊波拉倖存者足球隊系列。這些照片不只記錄足球隊的活動片段，更重要的是它也披露了被多數人遺忘的這個遭疫情摧毀的村莊是如何應付傳染病的威脅，走過這段艱辛的過程。
What is Press Photography?
Press photographs are different from advertising or art photographs. Press photographs are about the news. News is something few people are aware of or something that recently happened or is still ongoing. For example, that thousands of refugees have recently crossed the border or that the planet is warming. News is something that has major implications for many people. For example, a major flood in a densely populated area. Or a war that recently broke out.
A press photograph shares the state of the world with the viewer and makes the viewer part of the event. The motivation of many press photographers who work in difficult environments (e.g. war zones or area where famine or natural disasters occur) is to show the world what is happening in these areas, often in the hope we might do something about these problems.
A press photograph shows news, or places important social issues in a new light, such as the series about orang-utans in Sumatra. Finally, there are also press photographs that explore the news in further depth; the background reports. An example is the Ebola Survivors Football Club series. The photographs show how a community deals with the illness that disrupted whole villages and is already forgotten by most of the world.
