Data were drawn from 593 photographs of the president randomly collected from a number of news magazines. Results indicated that stylistic changes in photographic imagery involving spatial configuration variables were, in part, correlated to technological innovation and that vertical camera angles and close-ups revealed the closest relationship to technological change in the photojournalism field. The shift from angles just below eye-level to angles just above eye-level that occurred in the mid 1950s can be explained by the advancement of the single-lens reflex camera, faster lenses, faster film, and smaller camera technology. Increases in close-up imagery could be attributed to advancements in telephoto lenses in the 1970s. It is concluded that photojournalistic imagery and technology were found to influence political socialization and political reality in the public arena. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
