The history of photography is very old, but the history of photography's relationship with the media is also not new now. Today's media is incomplete without photos or videos. During this duty of camera with the media, journalists faced dangers many times, but journalists accepted these challenges even by risking their lives. Remembering this period of life related to the camera, photo-journalists also organized a medical checkup camp and also donated blood. It is important to mention here once again that all this was done in connection with World Photography Day.
