AI overview
I cannot write an accurate overview of photojournalism based solely on the image caption provided, as it only describes a single photograph without explaining what photojournalism is or why it matters. To fulfill your request accurately and without inventing facts, I would need context that actually defines and discusses photojournalism itself.

Photojournalism is journalism that uses images to tell a news story. It usually only refers to still images, but can also refer to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (such as documentary photography, social documentary photography, war photography, street photography and celebrity photography) by having a rigid ethical framework which demands an honest and impartial approach that tells a story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists contribute to the news media, and help communities connect with one other. They must be well-informed and knowledgeable, and are able to deliver news in a creative manner that is both informative and entertaining.
