[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 198539, member: 9240"] With my brother on photo staff at one of the country's largest papers, a very tenuous gig at present, it has me wondering what will happen once everyone lets everyone go? Papers are purging staff and using wire services and possibly some freelance, while wire services are booting freelancers to use lesser image pools, so eventually it seems that there will be no one working as a photographer anywhere in news unless it's for free. While I understand the economics, I mourn the loss of real everyday news photography. There will always be people willing to go off to war zones to shoot for someone, but local news photos are a thing of the past. [/QUOTE]
