Hypothesis
I, Irshad Shaikh, a student of H.B. Institute of Communication and Management, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavans College, wish to undertake a study on the ‘Analytical Study of Photojournalism in Indian Newspapers’

It includes collecting, editing and presenting of news material (pictures) for publication or broadcast to the news media like newspapers, magazines, television channels, websites and other journals. At times, a single photograph can convey a news story of thousand words. It is the skill of the photojournalist to take photos with such impact.
Since TV burst into our homes to stay, it has been competing and gaining territories from radio, magazines and newspapers. As a result, television has been slowly eroding the power, electiveness and contents of newspapers and magazines which have had to adapt to these facts changing its goals and styles.

Therefore the Newspapers now a day’s emphasized on photographs more.
Today the daily floods of televised images are the fast food of information: once digested they are erased. On
