Photojournalism has nothing to do with artistic values, it is about reporting
news in the most effective way possible.

Any artistic value that photojournalism acquires is secondary.

Claiming that photojournalism should have artistic values is like
claiming that the written columns in your newspaper should be
comparable with T S Eliot's poetry.
