A Little Bit Bout Photojournalism..

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (such as documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by the qualities of:

  • Timeliness — the images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events.
  • Objectivity — the situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone.
  • Narrative — the images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to the viewer or reader on a cultural level.

Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (physical danger, weather, crowds).

KE'IMAN'AN


Selasa, 17 Ogos 2010 bersamaan 7 Ramadhan 1431H. Sekitar jam 10.00 pagi, perkarangan Masjid Universiti Putra Malaysia kelihatan agak sesak. Penganut agama Islam di kawasan setempat akan membayar zakat fitrah sebelum terbenam matahari 1 Syawal.


Membayar zakat merupakan tuntutan agama kepada mereka yang mampu. Ianya akan diagihkan kepada 8 kelompok penerima zakat. Zakat akan dibayar kepada pemungut zakat yang dikenali sebagai ’Amil’.


Seorang amil yang dipilih mestilah beragama Islam, faqih dalam ilmu zakat dan tidak fasiq. Amil ini berkesempatan membaca tafsir Al-Quran ketika ketiadaan orang yang membayar zakat menggambarkan ikhlasnya beliau dengan tugasnya.
