Unfortunately, no.  Today's
viewer gets an immediate news feed from friends via Twitter, Face
book, IM, camera
phones, and Internet based images.  This is a very diffuse market that
would be very difficult to market too or pay a photographer to cover.
When the news agencies advertise
for individuals images to air for the princely sum of recognition you know
it is over for the paid photojournalist.
