A HISTORY OF PHOTOJOURNALISM - Robert Lebeck, Bodo Von Dewitz
Life, Look, Picture Post, Quick and Kristall: there was a time when you could buy them at the corner newsstand and they represented the most accessible, exciting and up-to-date form of information available. Today, they're anachronistic, replaced by the mass media of television, newspapers and the Internet. But photojournalism has been around for 150 years, and photojournalists have spent all that time on the front line, not only in wartime but also in peacetime, recording the important events of contemporary history alongside everyday situations, condensing the essence of a story into just a few pages of images. Kiosk reprints pages from original newspapers produced between 1839 and 1973, from 19th-century illustrations of new railway stations to legendary photo series taken in Vietnam, from Roger Fenton to Robert Capa, from Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung to USSR in Construction, from Collier's Weekly to AIZ via Vu.
