Real Photojournalism v. Flickr

"Flickring Out" 
I found this article online on the Columbia Journalism Review website and it is very interesting. Alissa Quart, the reporter, raises a lot of good points about the struggles and issues currently facing the photojournalism world. It is definitely worth looking at..

One of my favorite lines in the article:
"There's still a special recipe to be a 'real' photojournalist, and it's not just the 'trained' or 'expert' eye but rather the sheer hours put into each assignment and the ability to sustain a thought, image, or impulse through a number of images, not just a single snapshot."
