News is the assignment most people probably think of with the term photojournalism. Photojournalists often risk physical harm with the news assignments they cover.
Types of news assignments
Spot News Spot news is any unplanned event where little advanced planning is possible. Photographers will often hear of spot news events through a radio or a call from their photography editor or directly from a Police.
General News General news assignments give photographers a chance to prepare. Special film, camera lenses, and 'lighting needs can be anticipated. General news assignments usually take the form of a politician's press conference or a group of donors to a local charity.
