Saw this on another photography forum a few minutes ago....basically CNN has cut quite a few photojournalist jobs because they say consumer photo and video products have become so economical and are of such high quality that they don't need to pay people to do this job anymore - the public is doing it for them for free!

"We looked at the impact of user-generated content and social media, CNN iReporters and of course our affiliate contributions in breaking news. Consumer and pro-sumer technologies are simpler and more accessible. Small cameras are now high broadcast quality. More of this technology is in the hands of more people. After completing this analysis, CNN determined that some photojournalists will be departing the company."
