My short answer is no. For me, the work of photographers and photojournalists involves stopping moments in time. If that makes sense.
There is a story being told in the photos, but the story is mostly, if not totally told from the photographer's or photojournalist's perspective.
Videography is a time-based and multimedia-based medium. There are many stories that can be told in a piece using this medium. The time and sound elements allow the videographer and videojournalist to engage other perspectives in the story.
