Frequently asked questions

I am a freelance photojournalist and my photos are published by newspapers: does 74.20.11 or 74.20.19 apply?
The 74.20.11 code applies if you are an independent photojournalist whose images are published by third parties (news outlets, agencies). The deciding factor is the journalistic context: you are documenting a news story or event. If you shoot commercial photography, portraits, or wedding services instead, you fall under 74.20.19.
A photojournalist who self-publishes content on their own website: does 74.20.11 still apply?
No — the classification draws a line between a photojournalist who licenses shots to third parties and one who self-publishes. The 74.20.11 code specifically covers those who do NOT publish their own content. If your work is primarily online editorial self-publishing, also look at 74.20.19 for the photographic production side.
I do both news photography for newspapers and some commercial shoots: which code should I use as my primary?
As a rule, you look at the activity that generates the most revenue. If news photography sold to third parties is the majority, stay on 74.20.11; if portraits, events, and advertising photography dominate, move to 74.20.19. The 74.20.11 code is a narrow niche focused on press reportage.
