Los Angeles Daily Journal Lays Off Photographers

Now, the Los Angeles Daily Journal is getting rid of staff photographers. The publication terminated their two staff photographers (one in San Francisco, one in Los Angeles) in favor of reporters snapping their own pictures and freelancers.

LA Observed got their hands on the memo from editor David Houston:

All,

I have terminated our staff photographers in Los Angeles and San Francisco… Starting next week, we will use freelancers and photos taken by reporters.
