What I learned about the history of news

        While learning about the history of photography, I learned that capturing action and night images was very hard to do prior to the use of modern lenses and flashes. It took a lot of work to get an image to the press, as opposed to now, when all it takes is a push of a button.

        Photographers had to take the images, contact print them, and draw replicas to be reproduced for an engraver to make the images for the paper. There has been a lot of new inventions since then that enables modern-day photojournalists to send news across the country instantly. In fact, that part of technology was a glimpse into what we are able to do now.
