Spotted this on dpreview - an interview with a photojournalist who went from stills to shooting video.

Quote:'Photojournalism as a profession has taken a bit of a nosedive in recent years. Although Iâve been fortunate enough to be in continuous employment, Iâm not immune to the longer-term trend, which is pretty desperate if youâre talking about make a living. I took a strategic decision to get more into video and itâs been reasonably successful.'I wonder how true that statement is... is the market too saturated? Barriers of entry to the profession lower? Employers / media consumers demanding more and paying less?
