The author reviews A. I. Belenky's textbook “Photojournalism in Modern Media”, intended for students at universities. Unlike the bulk of teaching literature devoted to photography, this book focuses not on the technical techniques of photography, but on the basics of journalistic work with photography. Alexander I. Belenky has extensive experience as a photo reporter and bildedactor, teacher, media investigator. Each of the aspects of his professionalism was reflected in the book - in the content of theoretical material, in practical recommendations, in methodological guidelines. There are 12 chapters in the book. Chapters 1-8 describe the functioning of photography in mass media. Chapters 9-11 disclose the conditions that ensure the quality and efficiency of the photojournalist. Chapter 12 provides advice on further professional improvement for a photographer working in mass media. The author's reasoning is accompanied by rich illustrative material, including many works by recognized photo masters. The tests at the end of each chapter encourage self-reflection and creative work. A glossary and a list of recommended literature are also useful for students.
