My own feeling is, TV began the end of many news papers and magazines simply because of the "as it's happening programming" offered rather than the next day's news of papers. Or in the case of some roto sections the layouts were done almost 6 weeks before it hit the street with most of the story photo layouts general subjects a 6 week deadline really didn't matter. TV came along with the instantaneous moment and roto's died quicker than a round through the head! :-( A very sad case indeed, as many of those early roto shooters who became "well known" photojournalists got their start shooting for roto mags and weekly magazines.Eventually leading them to shoot for Paris Match, LIFE and many other big photo type magazines. ted
