It explains the difference between topical, timely, local, national, international, and related topical interests, using examples like wreck coverage, fashion coverage, and major events. It then emphasizes that seasonal subjects align with the twelve-month publishing cycle, remain valuable for magazine covers, and are often harder for editors to obtain.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/lesson-seven-seasonal-and-indoor-subjects/325324/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/lesson-seven-seasonal-and-indoor-subjects/325324.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Ivy","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":44},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the difference between a topical subject and a timely subject?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"A topical subject is featured in the news of the day, while a timely photograph is often called spot news, meaning it has just occurred and matches current timing requirements.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"Why does local interest often have short-lived value?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Local stories gain prominence in the city where the event happens, but they can be quickly forgotten in neighboring contexts and lose value over a very short period.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Why are seasonal photographs especially valuable and sometimes difficult to secure?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Seasonal photographs are always welcome, particularly for magazine covers, because magazines will use them.

 \n2.Except for those of you who are specifically interested in news-paper photography,you will have little subject matter of timely inter-est except for those subjects which continue to hold public interest fora considerable period of time.  \n3.Let us consider a few news subjects which might provide sub-ject matter for photographs.For these we will consider news events asrecorded in the newspapers of the nation.  \n# LOCAL INTEREST\n\n4.In a gang war,two gangsters are killed.The newspapers of thecity where the killing took place will run it in a position of more or lessprominence according to the reputation of the gangsters killed.A paperin a neighboring city may make a remark about the gangsters killingone another and relieving the police of that much trouble.The incidentis forgotten in a day or two!A picture of the bodies lying in the streetmight be worth ten dollars on Tuesday,two dollars Wednesday andten cents after that.  \n# PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNALISM\n\nNATIONAL INTEREST  \n5.A well known French fashion designer visits this country.That isgood for the daily press and also for the Sunday rotogravure sections,(which are always a good market for the photographer),and for fash-ion magazines of the next issue to be published.It should be noticedthat practically all subjects which are good for the Sunday editions arealso good for monthly magazines which cater to the particular field ofactivity represented.  \n# INTERNATIONAL INTEREST\n\n6.Finally let us consider a subject like Lindbergh’s Flight.This hasday-to-day timely interest,the“Roto”sections are filled with seriesand sets,and the general magazines of the popular field all run Lind-bergh stories,each prepared according to the editorial and reader re-quirements of that particular magazine.  \n7.The strictly local timely subject is a matter for the newspaperphotographer only.Unless he can evolve a story of his own about thesubject it is nothing to concern the photographic journalist.  \n# RELATED TOPICAL INTEREST SUBJECTS\n\n8.The big time topical subject can often be used to good advantageby the photographic journalist.When two young fliers recently flewaround the world in record time,a photograph was used which showedthe mother of one of the fliers in her home in a small town in Oklahoma.This topical interest subject is often used to good advantage by thealert photographic journalist.  \n9.Naturally the only subject matter which can be taken advantageof in this manner is ","cbCaisWWfQfGNsGd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisWWfQfGNsGd","pdf",1240149,28,"English","# Lesson Seven - Seasonal and Indoor Subjects\n## Topical and Timely Subjects\n## Local Interest\n## National Interest\n## International Interest\n## Related Topical Interest Subjects\n## Seasonal Subjects\n## Month to Month Interest\n## Seasonal Interest Calendar\n## Scarcity of Seasonal Material","[{\"question\":\"What is the difference between a topical subject and a timely subject?\",\"answer\":\"A topical subject is featured in the news of the day, while a timely photograph is often called spot news, meaning it has just occurred and matches current timing requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does local interest often have short-lived value?\",\"answer\":\"Local stories gain prominence in the city where the event happens, but they can be quickly forgotten in neighboring contexts and lose value over a very short period.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are seasonal photographs especially valuable and sometimes difficult to secure?\",\"answer\":\"Seasonal photographs are always welcome, particularly for magazine covers, because magazines will use them.
