Evidently the feeling amongst those in the know is that the end of silver-based news photography will come hand-in-hand with the end of printed newspapers as they are replaced by internet on-line "subscriptions" which will represent much more profit efficiency for the publishers. Of course, I predict that silver-based fine-art photography will survive at least until the generation now in their 40's has become too old to lift a Leica...which, given the advances in medecine, may well be six or seven decades off.
