The Demise of the Professional Photojournalist
I don't buy the premise that citizens will replace pros. Citizens, though
they outnumber pros, have limited access and less than state of the art equipment. I have a $300 cell phone that shoots video (videophone) and what it produces is crap compared to my $3200 Sony FX1. I am trained in both photography and videography to know what to do before, during and after the event. I have intuition to anticipate the event and locations and do not rely on chance. Those are the things that will continue to separate citizens from pros, so there will always be a place for professional work. My 2 cents.
