This article talks about how Neil Burgess declared photojournalism dead ( http://www.epuk.org/Opinion/961/for-gods-sake-somebody-call-it ), and how the continued success of the 'photo cooperative' Luceo Images ( http://luceoimages.com/ ) is a counterpoint to that standpoint. Mr. Burgess believes that photojournalism is dead because "no one is putting money into it" and instead feels that photography is just a supplement to a writers story. The author of the Lens post, James Estrin, questions this view, and presents Luceo Images as a counterpoint, saying that their success proves that photojournalism is alive and kicking. Personally I agree with Mr. Estrin, I believe that photojournalism is still very much a part of mainstream culture. I feel the magazine "National Geographic" is a great example of photojournalism, and Kurt Mutchler from said magazine agrees. ( http://www.npr.org/blogs/pictureshow/2010/08/18/129284174/madagascar )
