Define "photojournalism", LOL. This was shot for an article that will run locally at the end of the summer. So it "qualifies" but I'm sure it's doomed but it's all I have... The space at the top is allowed for Text.

fine feature photo, but probably not what the typical dpc voter is looking for in this challenge. you'd probably have done better if you had gone and bout some police tape and created your own crime scene.
Nice technically and does look like something we'd see in the papers.
It won't affect my rating of this shot, but I don't think your title needs to be trying to prove this is journalism - the shot does it on its own. That said, to me the title is not part of the challenge, a good photo showing a journalistic angle is and this one has those.
