• Many inventors of cameras have been important to the expanding of photojournalism because as the years have passed they have been making and updating cameras as much as possible. From wet and dry plate collodion to the digital era where we have cameras that can take pictures in seconds, develop pictures, effects and much more. Now that technology is constantly changing photojournalism has expanded in many different including blogs, articles and the media.
