What is photo journalism?
What makes a photojournalist different from a photographer?
Photographers take pictures of nouns (people, places and things). Photojournalists shoot action verbs (”kicks,” “explodes,” “cries,” etc.). Photojournalists do shoot some nouns. These nouns can be standard photos of people (portraits), places (proposed zoning areas or construction sites) and things (name it). However, the nouns we seek still must tell a story.
I look through the slide show presentation. I had added somethings to it. I added the part after slide 3. It is about were Propaganda appears at. I had also added an acknowledgement slide in the slideshow.
This is the slide show that Min Wen created,

I have some problems downloading the propaganda film “Bugs bunny Nips the Nips”. I had now planned to use the video called “The Blitz Wolf”.I would like to describe more about it here.
The Blitz Wolf
The Blitz wolf is released on 22 August 1942. It is also one of the first direct anti-Nazi propaganda caqrtoons made in Hollywood.It is a directed by Tex Avery.This holds a debut at the MGM studiio.
The film is using the story of the 3 little pigs.The wolf is
“Blitz Wolf” was a great success. It had received a nomination for Academy Award (one of Avery’s six nominations). It lost to another excellent WWII propaganda cartoon, Walt Disney’s “Der Fuehrer’s Face”. In the recent 20 years, “Blitz Wolf” was rarely shown on TV and has the status of semi-banned cartoon. On rare occasions, it has been seen on Cartoon Network, but only in censored version, with one scene altered and another totally removed. We’re presenting the screenshots from completely uncut print that includes these two incriminating moments (one of them is an ugly and unfortunate anti-Japanese slogan written on the entrance of the Smartest Pig’s house).
The folowing is a storyboard of the whole event:
One of the little pigs building his straw house.
One of the pigs building his wooden house.
The only wise pig building his brick house with cannons facing all the direction from his house.
The two other pigs asking why did he do this.

I would like my group members give me some comments.
In the final months of 1918, as the war drew to a close, the CPI fell under increasing scrutiny from a war-weary American public and from the Republican majority that had gained control of Congress. On November 12, 1918, George Creel halted the domestic activities of the CPI. The activities of the foreign division were ended, amidst great controversy, a few months later. One might assume that the wartime propagandists then put down their pens and paintbrushes and returned to ordinary life. This was not the case.

It may seem strange to suggest that the study of propaganda has relevance to contemporary politics. After all, when most people think about propaganda, they think of the enormous campaigns that were waged by Hitler and Stalin in the 1930s. Since nothing comparable is being disseminated in our society today, many believe that propaganda is no longer an issue.

Propaganda has been a human activity as far back as reliable recorded evidence exists.
The Behistun Inscription (c. 515 BC) detailing the rise of Darius I to the Persian throne, can be seen as an early example of propaganda. The Arthashastra written by Chanakya (c. 350 – 283 BC), a professor of political science at Takshashila University and a prime minister of the Maurya Empire, discusses propaganda in detail, such as how to spread propaganda and how to apply it in warfare. His student Chandragupta Maurya (c. 340 – 293 BC), founder of the Maurya Empire, employed these methods during his rise to power.[9] The writings of Romans such as Livy (c. 59 BC – 17 AD) are considered masterpieces of pro-Roman propaganda. Another example of early propaganda would be the 12th century work The War of the Irish with the Foreigners, written by the Dál gCais to portray themselves as legitimate rulers of Ireland.

Propaganda also has much in common with public information campaigns by governments, which are intended to encourage or discourage certain forms of behavior (such as wearing seat belts, not smoking, not littering and so forth).
Again, the emphasis is more political in propaganda. Propaganda can take the form of leaflets, posters, TV and radio broadcasts and can also extend to any other medium.

Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. Instead of impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience.
The most effective propaganda is often completely truthful, but some propaganda presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented.
Propaganda shares techniques with advertising and public relations. Advertising and public relations can be thought of as propaganda that promotes a commercial product or shapes the perception of an organization, person or brand, though in post-World War II usage the word “propaganda” more typically refers to political or nationalist uses of these techniques or to the promotion of a set of ideas, since the term had gained a pejorative meaning, which commercial and government entities couldn’t accept.
Propaganda, in a narrower use of the term, connotes deliberately false or misleading information that supports or furthers a political (but not only) cause or the interests of those with power. The propagandist seeks to change the way people understand an issue or situation for the purpose of changing their actions and expectations in ways that are desirable to the interest group.

Of all the potential targets for propaganda, children are the most vulnerable because they are the most unprepared for the critical reasoning and contextual comprehension required to determine whether a message is propaganda or not. Children’s vulnerability to propaganda is rooted in developmental psychology.

Propaganda is spreading of imformation to help or hurt a cause, telling the side that you want people to know and also appeal to emotions rather than intellect.
