(Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, 2012) Ishatdeep Singh
The present research was undertaken with a view to understand development in the field of photojournalism during 2000 to 2010. The study “Growth of Photojournalism in India from 2000 to 2010” was conducted on 50 samples of two publications India Today and The Tribune representing national and regional levels were selected purposely. Within the ambit of the study, major points covered are: total area covered by photographs, usage of black & white and colour photographs, photographs with or without caption, photographs with or without byline, photographs with or without news story, usage of spot and file photographs, geography of photographs and photographs pertaining to different themes. The result showed that India Today devotes more space to photographs related to national affairs. The percentage of area covered by photographs increased with years in the Tribune. Colour pictures were in a greater majority as compared to black & white photos in both the publications. More weight-age was given to political coverage in pictures in both the publications.
