Photojournalism is documentary and immediate. The images are not (purposefully) posed and they are not artistic portraits. They are meant to visually document a story or, at best, tell the story.
This set up avoids the several on camera flash issued cited by the other posts.
Since costs are now low for strong environmental lighting, I'm wondering why press briefing venues don't have a central bounce flash system, allowing the credentialed photographers assigned to the channel to trigger that flash, like at Basketball and Hockey Arenas.
Go figure, but Politicos ALWAYS want their photos lookin' gooooodddd--since their records rarely do,

Furthermore, the higher position over the lens eliminates or reduces the incidents of red-eye. I use a rather inexpensive model, the Vello CB-100

I would respectfully suggest, that whoever needed to ask the question, has not done much Flash-Photography. I know, "We all have to learn".
