Photojournalism on Life Support by Grazia Neri - The Digital Journalist: "Photojournalism on Life Support
by Grazia Neri
I no longer want to hear about whether photojournalism is dead or not. Twenty years ago the legendary Howard Chapnick said that it was a 'dying business' but at the same time it produced outstanding photographers: James Nachtwey, Chris Morris, James Baalog, Tony Suau, Steve McCurry, Donna Ferrato and many more. In 1994 after the Gulf War and after a seminar in Milan in 1989, I realized that new technologies would take up 80% of a photographic agency's creativity and time at the expense of content. But I also understood that this was the right road for photojournalism to take, as it has done from its difficult beginnings."
