No way they're going to settle for amateur iPhone shots for SI spreads. They just cant afford to maintain these guys full time. The bulk of pulitzer prizes go to stringers not staff photographers. So its not like their quality of work will go down. On 1/23/15 8:21 PM, "Tina Manley" <tmanley at gmail.com> wrote: > They are "hoping" that the photographers will continue to contribute! > Hah!!!
