Oral Report: Intro to Photojournalism/National Geographic

It's someone who makes a story with pictures.

3.  Why is National Geographic Important?
Because a long time ago people didn't get to go anywhere or see anything except for where they were.  NG went around the world and took pictures of things so people at home could see around the world.
