Similarities and differences between news photography and commercial photography

Personal opinion:

News photography pays attention to timeliness and authenticity, that is, it tells everyone what happened through pictures and words in the fastest time, which has a certain guiding role in public opinion and a clear purpose and propaganda function. Pictures are basically not allowed to be greatly modified (PS).

Commercial photography, as its name implies, is to promote and advertise in the form of pictures for certain commercial purposes and economic benefits, which can be used for post-creation of pictures and increase visual effects.

Their similarities are all for publicity and information.
