Job satisfaction, attitude and work environment: A study of perception of news photographers during elections

Along with reporters and editing desk members news photographers also contribute to success of newspaper organizations. They also play crucial role in making the newspaper interesting, useful to the reader and profitable to the organisation. During elections the expectations from the readers as well as the managements towards news photographers increase tremendously. Hence, an effort was made to study the perceptions of news photographers to find out how they coped with the situation, the photos covered and the facilities provided for that occasion. From the study it was understood that the respondents were satisfied with the work pattern style to some extent but on the whole they had more expectations from the managements in the form of facilities and benefits.
