RIP Photojournalism

Has photojournalism died? According to former photojournalist Neil Burgess, the profession officially passed away at 7:12 ET Sunday evening or morning (he doesn’t really specify).

It’s an interesting thought though. Has the profession that used to tell in-depth stories via the photograph officially ended?

Burgess writes:

“Magazines and newspapers are no longer putting any money into photojournalism. They will commission a portrait or two. They might send a photographer off with a writer to illustrate the writer’s story, but they no longer fund photojournalism.
