Research, travel to cover stories, communicating with others, and taking images are used daily
Photography is incorporated into career because interesting images have to be taken to match the story being covered
Computer, film, digital cameras, lighting, tripods, etc. would be needed
Normally need own equipment (larger companies may supply)
Work hours depend on what story project is being covered

I chose this career because I am interested in being a photojournalist
This still appeals to me because I enjoy reporter writing, photography, and travel
I wouldn’t change this career to make it any better
I probably wouldn’t recommend this job to others if they are looking to earn money, because it is not a high paying job
