The content of 628 news and feature photographs in 10 elite American and Korean newspapers was analyzed for differences in composition, subject number and subject identification. The Korean approach to photojournalism was purely descriptive while the American approach was more interpretive. Koreans presented far more news, emphasized the group and maintained a consistent composition. Americans ran more features, emphasized the individual and varied composition. Five profession-related factors either reinforce or reflect the observed cultural differences
