What qualities should photojournalists possess when facing breaking news events?

(1) Photojournalists must have strong news sensitivity. News sensitivity is the reporter's ability to discover news. Emergencies occur suddenly and news images are fleeting. They must have "extremely strong" news sensitivity, make decisions very quickly, take action decisively, and press the shutter without losing any opportunity.

(2) Only by accurately grasping the essential characteristics of breaking news event photography can you capture typical moments that can be called high-quality products. Specifically, at the scene of the emergency, while having a macroscopic grasp of the nature of the emergency news event, we focus on capturing specific images that can show the essence of the emergency news event. In emergencies, the ability to recognize emergencies and accurately grasp the essential characteristics of the event are more important than capturing photos in a purely technical sense. Only by grasping the essence of the emergency can the camera be directed in the correct direction

(3) Proficient sound and shadow technology is required. Typical moments and quality news photos are obtained by reporters through skilled photography techniques. At the scene of an emergency, the camera and lens in the hands of a photojournalist should be as obedient as the organs in their own bodies, and they should be able to use them with ease, so that their eyes can see, their minds can see, and the shutter can click.
