It's a standard for use in by the Newspaper business, I doubt every publication uses everything, most probably only use some of it, but it's available, and standardized. I'll bet a fair amount is automagically filled in by special software used when various editors manipulate the images prior to publication.

Hi Peter ...
Holy Crap! I went to the File Info (IPTC) in PS and there is a LOT of
information requested. I'm sure that not all is required, but there's no
way I'm going to start adding all that information (or even a good portion
of it) to every photo. That's just too much time and work. Do people
really spend that much time and add that much information to all their
photos? Perhaps there's a way to add the info to several photos at once ...
Thanks for the information, though.

IPTC stands for International Press Telecommunications Council you can modify this information by
using the
"File->File Info" menu item in Adobe Photoshop 5.5. It's probably the same in later versions but I don't know that
for sure.

How do you embed key words in EXIF and IPTC? What is IPTC? And it would
be super if you can refresh my muddled morning mind as to what EXIF is as
well.

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
