David Leeson, Cheryl Diaz Meyer, and Mona Reeder are certainly more of photojournalists than typical newspaper photographers. Also, newspaper photographers do get to do special series stories. For example, one of the ladies that I work with is doing a one year series on the Egyptian conjoined twins. Dallas Morning News just devoted an entire section of the newspaper to this series and her photos definitely told a story. The DMN also one the Pulitzer for it's series on domestic abuse (I think that's what is what) but it was done on an international level. These photos definitely told a story. There is another example of Mona Reader's work in Afghanistan. So, I guess you can say that some of what they do is definitely photojournalism. On most of these stories, however, the pj's rarely used flash.
