Question: Are Paparazzi photojournalists!? !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
No, real photojournalism requires talent for photography as well as journalism since you're basically telling a story with the pictures!. It doesn't require talent or skill to be a paparazzi since they're looking for any shot of a celebrity even if it's not any good from a photographic or journalistic point of view!. It's just point and shoot so anyone with a camera can do it regardless of whether they have any talent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. Paparazzis are photographers who take candid photographs of celebrities for personal profit and gain, usually by relentlessly shadowing them in their public and private activities!.

A photojournalist is someone who works for a news agency to shoot photographs of newsworthy events and situations, not celebrities going to dinner with friends!. Journalists are regulated by a professional code of conduct in their work and the product they put out to the public!. Paparazzis are not regulated by anything except their own greed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
