Abstract
Newspaper sports feature photographs are highly conventionalized images made with a limited visual vocabulary to tell a limited number of “stories” in a way that fits into the work confines of daily newspapers. The resulting images, though made by many different people, look the same. The same organizational constraints result in similar conventionalizing of all journalistic imagery.Keywords
