The moment that digital cameras became cheap and readily available to the public it sounded the first trumpet for for the the photojournalist. When people started carrying a camera in their pocket that made phone calls and had access to the Internet it just did not matter that the images were not taken with a SLR by a professional. The 24 hour news cycle trumps all and photo journalism has become very irrelevant in the 24 hour news cycle. I spent several years working in Iraq and Afghanistan and the only "Photojournalists" I actually saw were while working over there were National Geographic and a few Time photographers. Everyone else had regular reporters armed with point and shoot digitals.</p></blockquote><p></p>
