I'm not against using photos in support of journalism, they absolutely make a difference, but photography alone is not journalism. Without a story, it's just photography. Your examples seem to have all been part of a bigger story.

My opinion is basically reflected in that quote you used: "a key part in telling the story of". While it was a key part, the photo alone was not the entire story.
