Originally the camera was made to capture a moment in time quickly and exactly. Paintings often reflected the opinion of the painter in their art, however, photos show exactly what was happening. Photos can be biased but nonetheless they are real. Photography started becoming pretty well known around the civil war and that's where the first "imbedded" journalists began.
Can someone please simplify this please and thank you :)

the last sentence wasn't clear to me. Please explain.
What does "imbedded" mean?
does it mean to put in something?
Yes. An imbedded journalist is a news person who travels with the troops in a war.
Certainly! Here's a simplified explanation:
Originally, cameras were invented to quickly and accurately capture a moment in time. Unlike paintings, which could reflect the artist's opinions, photos showed exactly what was happening. Although photos can still be biased, they are considered real because they capture the actual scene. Photography became widely known during the Civil War, and it was during this time that the first "embedded" journalists began to emerge. These journalists would accompany and report directly from the frontline, providing a firsthand perspective of the events.
