Drastic Changes in Photojournalism
Found this interesting essay about the changes happening in photojournalism. It’s sad but makes sense given both the economic downturn and technological advances in news reporting.
Name: Nick Loomis
Sex: Male
Age: 26
Occupation: Photographer
Or at least I was until August, when I quit my first photojournalism job at a newspaper in Illinois before I came to New York. I gave up the title and now I don’t really know what I am or what I’ll become, but I’m pretty sure I’ll never be a “photographer” again. I’ll probably have some vague euphemism like “multimedia journalist” or “interactive correspondent” stamped on my business cards — that is, if I’m lucky enough to have business cards.
