Chicago Sun Times Swaps iPhone Training For Staff Photographers

Posted by timothy on from the cross-training-nervous-reporters dept.

frdmfghtr notes (via Cult of Mac) that "the reporters of the Chicago Sun-Times are being given training in iPhone photography, to make up for the firing of the photography staff. From the CoM story: 'The move is part of a growing trend towards publications using the iPhone as a replacement for fancy, expensive DSLRs. It's a also a sign of how traditional journalism is being changed by technology like the iPhone and the advent of digital publishing.'"

    They should have let the reporters go and kept the photographers. The quality of the reporting would probably have stayed about the same.
