[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 198506, member: 1061"] [URL="https://nppa.org/node/63274"]NPPA article[/URL] I won't bore anyone with the gory details, because I don't think we have any freelancers here on the boards anyway. But this is just another kick in the nuts for editorial photographers. All Reuters sports photographers have been reassigned to other jobs, or let go. Reuters will now use USA Today Free Images (formerly US Freewire) for their sports photography needs. USA Today Free Images has a notoriously horrible contract and low pay rates. The rumor mill is that Getty Images will also soon be getting rid of its staff photographers and going with a "contributor" setup. If that happens, in my opinion, editorial staff photography is officially dead. Just in case you were wondering, this used to be a very good gig to get into. [/QUOTE]
