There was a great piece about photojournalism on NPR this morning. Here is the description.
What are the rules that govern journalistic portrait photography? Wide-angle lenses, nonstandard lighting, shooting from below – they’re all fair game and frequently employed by photogs working for major publications. But what obligation is there to the subject? Bob searches for answers.
And a link to the story.

Hey, thanks for finding this, Mary. It was concise and actually very interesting. I'm curious as to your personal take on "media portraiture."
Judgement depends on many criteria! It depends on the photographer and this is good post to get some useful ideas!! By the way, have you heard of MiNeeds.com? It really simplifies finding affordable photographers. I used it to find them for my wedding. Essentially, after I described what I needed on this site, I received several competitive bids from local photographers. I liked the fact that I didn’t have to call around and negotiate with each, and that they actually came to me.
