De krantenverkoop gaat achteruit, in Vlaanderen en in Wallonië. Als de evolutie zich doorzet, zullen er bezuinigingen volgen. Onvermijdelijk. Bijvoorbeeld op professionele fotografie. Behind The Spin schetst hoe het vandaag toegaat in Groot-Brittannië:

Take The Sun: all Sun journalists are now issued with high quality digital mobiles, so that they can MMS shock horror images across to the news room as the action’s happening. It saves money on professional photographers, and it’s got the grainy, wobbly, useless-photo style credibility-edge that suits current reality culture. Whatever a celebrity was getting up to that he or she claimed he or she wasn’t, if the picture in the paper looks crap, it has to be true.
