Excerpt from News Pictures Reviewing the changes in pictorial journalism that have occurred since the author's earlier work, News Photography, appeared in 1932 it was thought advisable to prepare an entirely new treatment of the subject rather than attempt to incorporate these changes in any revision of that work. During the five years that have elapsed press photography has been vitally affected by several revolutionary factors. Modern technology has disturbed the old order and relegated to oblivion equipment and practices that once represented perfection. The mutations in mechanics and chemistry have imposed upon newspapers some physical changes in their photographic plants and somewhat revised the operating technique of their camera staffs. To the training in journalism offered by numerous universities has been added a course in news photography. Thus the whole theory and practice of newspaper work receive academic endorsement and support. The trial-and-error school of instruction, the rugged old school of experience, and education by hard knocks must inevitably surrender to the dawning era that demands scholastic as well as practical training from the beginner. The resistless forces of a new dynamic progress are making themselves felt in the entire newspaper structure. Their effect upon its photography and its camera personnel are here considered in the light of what they have accomplished to improve the quality and volume of news pictures.
