Plenty of industries have made cuts, and they won't stop here either.

Its been a trend for years, and won't get better soon...if ever.

Why so serious?

So have these organizations just gone with freelancers?

I think the term we use is "contractor".

Makes you wonder how many of those photographers, became 'contractors'?

I saw this when it happened, probably on Sportsshooter. I think some of them were kept on as freelancers. A number of media outlets have fired photographers and now apparently editors as well. Same kind of thing has happened in radio in my area. Glad I didn't end up going into journalism like I'd thought I'd do at one point. Hope it improves for media photographers in the future.
