Since the invention of photography, the camera's eye has reported, chronicled and even influenced history. A new kind of journalism- photojournalism- reinvented reality, allowing the public for the first time to witness events just as they happened. Time, the pre-eminent news magazine for more than 70 years, has helped shape that process.
