Press photographs play a vital role in highlighting ground realities and pressing the government to address public issues, senior photojournalist B.M. Kedarnath said.

He was delivering a special lecture on press photography organised by the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at Karnatak University in Dharwad on Friday.

Mr. Kedarnath said news photography demanded the ability to make quick decisions according to the situation. An effective photograph could convey an incident more powerfully than hundreds of words, he said, urging students to develop technical skills in photography while remaining conscious of their social responsibility.
