      Apparently we struck a really raw nerve today in the photojournalism community when we published a piece about free photo sites and tools for newsrooms that are strapped for resources. (Thread)

      So let’s talk about this. We want to acknowledge your anger and your concerns. We’ve worked with you. We’ve seen you have to juggle 12 assignments in a day. We’ve seen your colleagues get laid off. We’ve seen space shrink for displaying your work.

      We understand the concerns about the integrity of journalism and ethics. And we addressed those in this piece as it related to copyright issues. To the degree that we need more conversation about these sites and ways to present visual journalism online, we’d love to explore that.

      But here’s the thing … There is a reality about producing work in the digital space. We’re all having to find a way to impart information on platforms that demand visuals to be noticed.

      If you read the piece and take it for what we intended it to be — a solution to a problem that’s being felt acutely by web and social media editors in the digital age with diminishing resources — it’s just that and no more.

          We’re not advocating illustrating news stories with stolen images at the expense of hard-working photographers.

          From the feedback we’re getting, we know that this message will just scratch the surface of a deeper conversation that probably needs to happen on this topic. But we wanted you to know that we heard you and we’re listening.

          Some of you have advocated taking the article down or issuing a retraction. We don’t feel either is warranted. But let’s keep the dialogue going, because as one of the writers on the piece said:

          “One of Poynter's biggest roles is to serve as a hub for conversation about journalism. I think if we're seeing things one way and they're seeing things another, it's probably only going to help us to host both sides of that conversation.”

          "web and social media editors" -- where? at content makers or at journalistic institutions? I fight this battle every day in my newsroom and we fight to make the visuals RELEVANT and DISTINCTIVE - not rehashes of stock imagery.

          Oh cry me a river. Yea I understand they feel pressure but thus doesn't justify contributing to the misery of a whole profession. Know what takes pressure of them too? Hiring a photoeditor.

          The article isn't offering a solution: It is enabling the lowering of standards. This quote is indicative: "Looking for an image is a near-final step for me.... but I suspect that most people think about it somewhat later in the publishing process, if they do at all"

          It’s a terrible solution that shortchanged many professional journalists.

          Perhaps we need to talk again about the value of visual journalism. If a web or social media editor is being paid to lay out a story, or the writer was paid to write it and they want the story to have a visual component, they need to pay for it.

          Absurd and pathetic response. “Just that and no more” Really? Maybe you need to re read your own article.
