With all of the events going on in the world right now, it feels as if information is constantly flowing all around us. As much power as written stories have, some messages are only truly conveyed through visual means: art, photography, film, etc. In this article, we wanted to create a list of some of our favorite photojournalists who you can follow as a way to understand the world right now.
