Category talk:Photojournalism

CfD discussion
Discussion from Categories for deletion. There is obviously some work to be done here, but consensus seems to be that in any case, this category is (potentially) useful and should be kept.

Category:Photojournalism
Use instead: Category:Photography -- Beland 06:16, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Photojournalism is a proper subtopic of photography and journalism(both of which it is...or was...a subcategory)&mdash;not all photographers are photojournalists. Postdlf 01:07, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Looking at the current category structure, Category:Visual journalism is what should go. Photography and graphic design are in no way subtopics of journalism.  Photojournalism is the obvious overlap between photography and journalism, it is the subject of its own article, and there are many photographers and works of photography properly classified as photojournalists and photojournalism, in a manner separable from photography in general.

 * Category:Graphic Design fits nicely in Category:Visual journalism but not in Category:photojournalism, so I can't agree. --ssd 12:45, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * It doesn't fit in either, because not all graphic design is for a journalistic purpose. I wasn't suggesting that photojournalism replace the function that visual journalism serves now&mdash;Category:Visual journalism simply isn't a discrete category in the sense it is being used, and the topics within it now are hardly mere sub-subtopics of journalism.

 * Keep perfectly good category, no reason at all not to have categories be members of more than one parent category, think Venn diagram and Boolean algebra, not Dewey Decimal System Pedant 01:57, 2004 Nov 9 (UTC)
 * Keep, sensible category, although there may not be many articles to populate it with. There should be a subcategory Category:Photojournalists, which can be populated from List of photojournalists.-gadfium 00:18, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
