Is Photojournalism Dead? We Almost Hate To Ask npr.org/blogs
Is photojournalism dead? Photojournalists are certainly alive, but can they be expected to survive an economy of fast, cell phone news? In conclusion, there is no conclusion. But we're interested in your thoughts. Leave comments!
I find it interesting that a profession dedicated to the evolution of life has such a difficult time redefining itself. I love adapting my cell phone to telling stories in real-time.
It is possible to tell a story in a 30 second video and only take 45 minutes or less to post it.
Personally, it is a far greater personal satisfaction to make or break the moment with one raw tool, than participate in a long, drawn out process filled with legacy costs of people and time.
The money model is changing, not the story telling.
It's just faster with more participants now. The cream will rise to the top.
