[QUOTE="hark, post: 287964, member: 13196"] Grrrrrrr....:grief: That stinks. :( Pardon my ignorance of how photojournalism works as I get news via my Facebook news feed (my TV was on maybe 6 times during the past year and very little radio). What I'm finding with my local news (which is solely available online), is they use photos freely submitted by the public. And these aren't people who are knowledgeable about photography either. Has that been an issue for some of the photojournalists? I've heard about cell phones being used a lot for photojournalism...but is it due to there being so many free photos? If not, how do the major news outlets handle photos? And how do the news magazines such as [I]Time[/I] and [I]US News & World Report[/I] handle their photos? Do they have staff photographers or use some other means for obtaining their photos? [/QUOTE]
