There was recently a posting I saw on Linked In about a Seattle station advertising for a photojournalist apprentice position where they basically take someone with no experience and train them. Apparently it left a sour taste in the mouths of several photogs in Seattle because the storytellers group posted about it basically saying the original story was false (even though it wasn't). The point is, yes, skilled photogs are a dying breed and will just get more and more difficult to find. I did a write up about this in a Facebook group about a year and a half ago. About two years ago I started getting random phone calls and emails about once every few months after a station would see my resume reel on YouTube and would just contact me to see if I was interested in a job. That's progressed into about 3 per month now. My response has always been the same. First, I don't want to have to start over again at the bottom of the ladder at a new station working nights and weekends BUT I'd be willing to do it for the right amount of money. So far that amount has been more than any station is willing to pay. However, with the trend continuing, we're going to reach a tipping point where stations will either have to pay to get a quality, skilled, and experienced photographer or, B, they realize they have to give up on quality and hire no experience photogs and train them in the bigger markets. Its either one or the other.
