[Leica] PHOTOG BAD NEWS!!!! :-)

[Jim Shulman]

Which they can get dirt cheap from freelancers and wire services.  I just
checked the front page of the New York Times website and saw, count 'em,
ONE picture taken by a staffer.  The rest of them were from freelancers
(when it says: Joe Blow for the New York Times) or wire services.  In the
case of my local paper, the Philadelphia Inquirer, many of the philly.com
stories are illustrated by IStock/Getty images.
