Point is, photojournalism isn't enough for most photographers to pay their
bills. Stock work is very good work to get, and provides a place for all
those 'slightly-less-gorgeous-and-not-as-controversial' shots to find a
home, right? ;-)

If you look at where Magnum advertises - you'll find them spending a lot of
money on selling to 'stock' markets. In this market they don't compete for
'journalisitic' assignments, nor do they seek to sell 'essays.' They're
competing for the lucrative 'advertising' sale.
