Broadcast News Terminology, Photographer vs Cameraman
The shift in broadcast news terminology from "cameraman" to "photographer" is analyzed as a move toward gender-neutral language and professional elevation. Industry veterans note that "photographer" is now the standard term in many East Coast markets, often used to distinguish professional news gatherers from amateur smartphone users. The hosts suggest the change is also intended to mirror the prestige of the "Director of Photography" title in the film industry.
