To the contrary, freelancers who care about copyright & being compensated fairly, & who choose to *not* work with agencies or wire services that issue Work For Hire contracts (AP, Reuters, AFP), or license for pennies on the dollar (Getty), are faced with being mostly shut out.

Big shout out to the photo editors who say or text you "good job" or "nice work" or otherwise acknowledge you after you've photographed an assignment for them. It's a very small sign of respect — and I eat it up every time (because it's so rare!). So thanks. You know who you are.
