New York City has earned its place as the media capital of the world; and its newspapers have chronicled life; death; triumph; and tragedy. While people like Damon Runyon; Walter Winchell; and Jimmy Breslin are remembered for how they wrote about the news; the people who documented it visually are mostly forgotten. For many decades; photographers who captured iconic images for New York�s newspapers did so anonymously�picture credit lines were a rarity. This is the story of the people behind the pictures; a history of the historians. In 1915; a group of lensmen formed a fraternal organization to promote their craft and support one another through hardship. A century later; the New York Press Photographers Association (NYPPA) is regarded as the oldest press association in America; and it still advocates for its members in an ever-changing field. At work or at play; New York�s photojournalists are hardly the nameless; faceless bunch history would have us believe them to be.
