Özet
ÖZETTeknolojik gelişmeler haber fotoğrafçılığında önemli değişimler yaratmıştır. Özellikle medyada, haberi destekleyen ve anlamlandıran bir unsur olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.

Bazen tek bir kare fotoğraf sayfalarca yazıdan daha etkili olabilmektedir. Buradaki en temel sorun; fotoğrafın, kurgu ürünü olarak kullanılmasının yarattığı etiksel durumdur.
