According to the Britannica: Robert Capa's pictures of war made him one of the great photojournalists of the 20th century.   "He first established himself in Paris by representing his photographs as the work of Robert Capa, a fictitious American photographer who was so rich he refused to sell his work at normal prices. The deception was soon discovered, but he retained the pseudonym.  Capa first achieved fame as a war correspondent in the Spanish Civil War.  ...  In World War II he covered much of the heaviest fighting in Africa, Sicily, and Italy for Life magazine, and his photographs of the Normandy invasion are some of the most memorable of the war. In 1947 Capa joined with the photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson and David Seymour to found Magnum Photos, the first cooperative agency of international free-lance photographers.   ... In 1954, however, he volunteered to photograph the French Indochina war for Life and was killed by a land mine."

Photojournalism - photography serving the press!

 

According to the Britannica "The strongest contribution probably lies in the field of photojournalismGeorge Rodger , one of the founders of the Magnum agency and a former Life photographer, and Bert Hardy, a former Picture Post photographer, provided a solid tradition for the work of Don McCullin  , who  like Robert Capa   before him traveled from war to war, photographing with deep compassion the conflicts that appeared in his book The Destruction Business (1971)."  

Even in the begining they say :"ithin weeks after the French government's announcement of the process in 1839, magazines were publishing woodcuts or lithographs with the byline . from a  daguerreotype .. In fact, the two earliest illustrated weeklies. The Illustrated London News, which started in May 1842, and L'Illustration, based in Paris from its first issue in March 1843. owe their origin to the invention of photography."
