Photojournalism

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Photojournalism 

the reportage of current events through photographs appearing in newspapers, in magazines, and on special bulletin boards, such as those of PHOTO TASS. In contrast to the documentary art of photography, photojournalism often makes use of photographs that lack aesthetic value; the pictures are chosen primarily on the basis of their historical and cognitive merits.

Photojournalism can fall under all subjects of photography but the image needs to be news worthy to end up being published.
