Just got an email from Anthony Nex, chair of the APA-LA about a meeting next Thursday April 2nd at Helms Daylight Studio 7 pm for the LA photography community to discuss the Omnicon situation. This is a free event and we need to get photographers together to discuss this matter.
"We've lined up a really heavyweight panel (Jill Greenberg, Glen Wexler, Tricia Burlingham, and others) and the event will be free to all."
Jill & Glen are both photographers, Tricia is a LA photo rep. More details as it comes, this page will be updated.
UPDATE (3/26) APA/LA has the event up on their calendar here. Janet Botaish, syndication agent also added. Debra Weiss will be moderating.

Creativity Online also touched on this subject :
"How can an ad agency go to a client and demand that they pay them up front and then stick this to us?" asks one head of a high-profile production company. "I didn't realize we were also in the banking business. When no one can finance anything, they're asking us to do it."
Acting as financiers as well as managing production is untenable, the production head says. "No one has that wherewithal. You'd need a fund of 100 million bucks. Why are we financing corporate America? It makes no sense. We're the low people on the totem pole rendering a creative service. It's like Warner Brothers asking a director to finance a $100 million film and then they'll pay them later."
