Journalists: The New Endangered Species

Posted on 31. Jul, 2009 by Karen in As The World Turns

Do you get news online these days or do you still read the newspaper? You know – that crinkly stuff with the black ink that rubs off on your fingers before you toss it in the trash like yesterday’s news. Oops – that’s exactly what it is. And that’s how journalists are feeling these days.

    Loved the video. Unfortunately, it is true though. Photo journalists such as Linda Solomon, who I believe is (was) with the Birmingham Eccentric, will be missed. Although she has her photography to weather the storm so to speak …. as if she is worried about the storm…..wish I were Linda Solomon…….oh well….just a few words…..Thanks again for the video. It was cute.
