I agree. Not dead, but not valued either.

It never died. And it’s being practiced in many places to great effect every day.

The question, I think, was this: When economic push came to shove recently, was visual journalism VALUED?

Isn’t there a little paper out there in Atlanta that has no graphic artists any more?

I don’t think the question was whether it was dead. Or still being done well.

Sadly, I think the question was, when push came to shove with the economics, was it valued?

I didn’t realize anyone was saying that visual journalism “was” dead.

There are many headlines, comments, and opinions, that claim that journalism or photojournalism is dead. What a crock! Certainly, traditional forms maybe dying but they are being replaced by new ways to report, using words, pictures, and sound.

Enough with the “journalism is dead” drama - let’s focus on the next evolution.
