Kevin: Jay Rosen interviews Dirck Halstead, the author of an article on Digital Journalist titled "Let's Abolish 'Citizen Journalists'". It's a fascinating and slightly bizarre interview in which Halstead claims that publishers are looking to replace all professional photojournalists with amateur submission. Halstead also believes that print has to die so that Time Inc and other "principal players" will set up super sites with huge advertising budgets. I can't say I agree with much of what Halstead says, but it's fascinating to read.
