The first photo published in a newspaper

2 days ago

The first photograph published in a newspaper appeared in the French weekly periodical L'Illustration in July 1848, depicting barricaded Parisian streets from the June Days Uprising.
Photojournalism gained momentum through war reporting, such as Roger Fenton's Crimean War photographs and coverage of the American Civil War, but visual documentation did not reduce the recurrence of war.
By 1900, images became expected in news rather than cherished, and photography evolved from an addition to print journalism to a journalistic force within a century.
