Morphology
photojournalist = journalist (transparent) = photo + journal + ist
The word is built straightforwardly from the combining form 'photo-' plus 'journalist', and the meaning is readily recoverable.
Etymology
The word photojournalist joins photo- meaning 'light' and journalist, from journal meaning 'a daily record' or 'day'. So a photojournalist is a news reporter who tells stories mainly with photographs, pictures 'made with light'.
