Excerpt from News Pictures For many journalistic years the large function Of the newspaper photographer was to furnish art to brighten up pages. The news value of the picture - ii any - was too frequently second ary. On the modern newspaper, alert to its possibilities and responsibilities, that day has passed. The news picture has become as essential an ingredient of today's newspaper, as is cable news or the local news coverage. The recent flock Of news picture magazines with their promises of financial success, have awakened newspaper publishers to a realization of the extent to which they have been Sleeping on their opportunities for development of a branch of their public service which has long been treated like a poor relation. Amer ica is news picture-conscious, and the alert newspaper publisher is no longer blinking at the undeniable fact. Today the job is not complete when the editor has said it in type. He must repeat and amplify the news by saying it with pictures - good pictures shot from the news angle and produced with the speed Of a news bulletin. This development is not unnatural. The rapidly-accelerating tempo Of American life is largely responsible. With SO many other forms of diversion - radio, talkies, etc. - to lay claim to his attention, the reader demands not only that his news he served quickly, but he wants the printed word amplified and expanded with the accompanying visualization that is inherent in a spot-news picture of the event. News stories must be brief - and good pictures make textual brevity possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
