NYC, Press Corps Photograph Baby Pygmy Hippo, 1919


Pygmy hippo and her new baby before a battery of press cameras. Photograph shows zoo keeper with mother and baby pygmy hippopotamuses as photographers shoot their photographs at New York Zoological Park, probably after the birth of the first baby pygmy hippo born in captivity on December 24, 1919. Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Anton G. Baumann, 1919.
