There's less money in photojournalism, that's a fact. It's hard for people to make a living. In terms of impact on the public, this hasn't changed. If you asked people if they remember a photograph from the last 12 months, the answer would be yes.

A lot of photojournalists are dying financially. It becomes an art that is only sustainable if you have a life outside of photojournalism. More and more you need to self-fund the process. You need to be able to work for nine months, set aside a few thousand dollars and then you can spend that money on a project for three months. But the challenge is to find a venue to show this work. Photojournalism suffers from that lack of venue, which is paradoxical in a world where we have 800 television channels, thousands of magazines and the online world.

The industry is suffering, but the impact of photography hasn't changed. It's a powerful medium. A powerful photograph makes people think, it makes them want to know more. And I don't see anything that would change that.
