Please don't use the expression "Photo Journalist" as synonymous
with "unthinking grab shooter". It just isn't so. It isn't even
synonymous with "photographer producing photographs on deadline".
I've seen some pretty terrible landscapes, portraits, etc. Does
this mean that landscape photographers, or portrait artists, are
all bad photographers? No, of course it doesn't.
A good photojournalist will produce good photographs. A bad one won't.
The same can be said of a practitioner of any branch of photography.
