Are Yearbooks Journalism?

  I don't really think that yearbooks are journalism because it's mostly pictures. I do appreciate that there is more to it than pictures but I wouldn't count it as journalism really. The words that are written in the yearbooks are mostly just captions to different photos.
  Journalism is when you are writing articles about some kind of news. Little captions and cute little titles aren't real articles. It needs some substance.
  They both serve the same purpose though. It is to entertain. While there are some similarities I think you can probably agree that there are too many differences to make a yearbook journalism.
