we had about 30 on staff at the Guardian in the late 90s. I think it's more like 5 these days.
It's a bold move by Chicago Sun but who needs John H White when you're only showing Grumpy Cat videos?
It's interesting that they laid off the editors as well. Who's proofing the iphone images from the reporters? The janitor?
I'm sure the reporters appreciate the extra workload. How long before they're replaced by bloggers who were never at the scene?
the Sun must be in very financial dire straits to make such a decision.
It is just a sign of the times - the world is changing, and not just in the photography field. People need to be retrained and redeployed in developing employment opportunities. No matter, when you lose your job it can be very disheartening, so I do feel for these people.

My Photography
I have a number of times otherwise our local clubs get no publicity at all as the local papers wont pay. The papers own sports editor can only attend 1 event at a time and she only shoots in full auto mode with the papers entry level camera and kit lenses. I shoot local football and motorsport events and cover some of my costs selling photos to the competitors I also submit articles to magazines and until I did that sport had virtually zero coverage. I don't like it but if I don't accept it the sport misses out completely.
Cheers
Keith.
