Morphology
photojournalism = journalism (transparent) = photo + journal + ism
The word is transparently formed from 'photo-' plus 'journalism', so the meaning as journalism based mainly on photographs is easy to infer.
Etymology
Photojournalism joins photo ('picture') and journalism ('news reporting'), so it means telling the news with photographs instead of only words.
