The Best Newspapers to Shoot For

PDN's Jay Defoore and David Walker have chafed me with their preposterous statement that, "Photography is unremarkable (or worse) at most U.S. newspapers, but there are some notable exceptions." These are two guys from a magazine in New York City, that usually only talk about the goings on at other magazines or agencies in New York City. They're not witnessing the solid shows of photojournalism from some unexpected places, they're not tuned into the photojournalists out there working on photo columns and pushing the envelope on a daily basis, or aware of newspaper photojournalists who make a difference in their own communities.

So to back that up they've created a very selective list of "The Best Newspapers To Shoot For." There are a few newspapers that they included, but shouldn't have, and many more that they didn't mention, but should have.

[NOTE: I was asked to take down the free log in and password, so instead I'm posting the entire article. You shouldn't have to pay to read it. And now the fine folks over at PDN have asked me to "please respect our business strategy by refraining from posting our passwords and/or paid content on the APAD blog," so I had to take the article down as well. But, if you'd still like to read it, then email me, and I'd be glad to send you a copy -- news [at] aphotoaday [dot] org]
