Five hypotheses about photojournalism in convergence scenes

Abstract

The scene of deep changes provided by the digital convergence shows its results in the supply chain of news photograph. The article raises doubts about this activity by a succession of steps, classifying what could photojournalism be at convergence times. From this level, five general hypotheses are formulated, showing how key points articulate with the production of contemporary photojournalism. Finally, these hypotheses are critically revisited in the light of empirical examples related to the juxtaposition of photojournalism and digital convergence.
