>That's why at the start of this whole thread I reference photojournalism.
I saw it, but it's not that clear cut.
What you write, "an artistic shot to fill space" implies to me generic illustration pictures, which the above isn't an example of.
I think the restrictions to editing are mostly contrained for photos about stuff like politics, world affairs, crime etc -- stuff that is presented as 100% dry news.
But the term photojournalism covers other stuff too, right? Isn't, say, a travel article written by a journalist with a photographer photojournalism too? Or the images taken by a photojournalist for a piece on dance culture, the burning man, stuff like that. Or for a sports feature.

I agree, and as I understand it, anything beyond some basic level/color adjustments and cropping is a no-no in those areas if you want to keep your integrity.
Also, I have to add that it differs for news reporting versus stuff like interview shots, travel shots etc.
