ABSTRACT

Photo news is a genre of reporting news and disseminating information in the form of pictures, which can express news events visually and figuratively. Broadly speaking, photo news includes news photography (photojournalism) and news cartoon, and Marshall McLuhan put forward the concept of "hot media" and "cold media"[1], which considers that photojournalism belongs to hot media and cartoon belongs to cold media. In this paper, we select the winning works in the categories of news photography and news cartoon of Hainan News Award in the past five years, and comprehensively use the theoretical knowledge of journalism and communication to comment on the representative works, and summarize the characteristics of excellent photo journalism.
