I can assure you that photojournalism in medium-sized papers is still quite alive. The Washington Post has just proved they are the kings of Photojournalism, so even a few big papers are doing it right. But smaller papers (in the 40,000 to 250,000 size range) have the flexibility (if so committed) to do extended photo essays. My paper is a good example of that. The Director of Photography at the Oregonian once stated that they don't have the opportunity to do the kind of stories my paper does. I take that as quite the compliment. He's probably the best photo editor on the planet at a newspaper. (Randy Cox). ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Pi R Squared? No Pi R round, Cornbread R Square!
