Chicago Sun Times Swaps iPhone Training For Staff Photographers

frdmfghtr notes (via Cult of Mac) that "the reporters of the Chicago Sun-Times are being given training in iPhone photography, to make up for the firing of the photography staff. From the CoM story: 'The move is part of a growing trend towards publications using the iPhone as a replacement for fancy, expensive DSLRs. It's a also a sign of how traditional journalism is being changed by technology like the iPhone and the advent of digital publishing.'"

must be a joke

They should have let the reporters go and kept the photographers. The quality of the reporting would probably have stayed about the same.
