Warning for citizen photographers.

The dangers of being a photojournalist are certainly real.

I think their point about CNN and other conglomerates which offer to take the citizen material and gladly publish it "for free" is an artifact of the mindset of media types who look down on people who aren't "in the business." I have written on the Poynter blogs and discussed this elsewhere. If it reads like journalism, it ought to be credited and paid for like journalism. Oh, my kingdom for a decent model of micropayments...Press Gazette - Journalism matters. Every week.
