Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Photojournalism has long been a powerful medium for capturing and conveying the realities of humanitarian crises. Through compelling visual narratives, photojournalists draw attention to issues such as displacement, poverty, and natural disasters. In Jalingo LGA, a region often grappling with crises ranging from communal conflicts to environmental challenges, photojournalism provides a critical avenue for documenting these events and advocating for intervention. By evoking emotional responses and fostering empathy, photojournalism bridges the gap between affected communities and decision-makers (Abdullahi & Musa, 2023).
