Oral Report: Intro to Photojournalism/National Geographic

1.  Why is photography important to you?
I like seeing what things used to look like. I think it's fun to take pictures.  Photography also shows me other people and different places.

2. What is Photojournalism?
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.
