As the name suggest, they are photojournalist.
Instead of writing a piece of article, they record/show it with the pictures...
This is what I have learned from Mike Yamashita, one of the NG photographer who do a lot of article about India, Afgan, Japan, etc...
He started his career by spending a lot of his time and money, living in India and doing the shots and come out with a portfolio before he go and see NG people.
NG photographers are a very special people, people who is driven for different cause and their life is about what they do.
One don't become a photojournalist one day by wanting to do it... they become one, because they are one from within.
What set them apart or set anyone apart in their work, is what come out from within them...
Being a particular type of photographer and do well will start from your inner self.
For example, if one is passionate about people, they will do well about people photography.
You have to ask yourself, why are you interested in photojournalism? Do you live life like a photojournalist? or simply, you are tourist who would like to record images where you have visited? that is the question that you have to find within yourself...
Hope it helps..
