The Demise of the Professional Photojournalist

Dan Gillmor on Center for Citizen Media has an interesting piece on citizen reporters - looking back at the past, forseeing the future and predicting how professional journalism will be affected.

..."The pros who deal in breaking news have a problem. They can’t possibly compete in the media-sphere of the future. We’re entering a world of ubiquitous media creation and access. When the tools of creation and access are so profoundly democratized, and when updated business models connect the best creators with potential customers, many if not most of the pros will fight a losing battle to save their careers."
