Exactly my experience, Kevin.  I used to teach photojournalism at the 
local college.  First they got rid of the darkroom and went to 
computers.  Then they got rid of still photography and went to only 
video.  Evidently one frame captured from a video stream is as good 
as it needs to be. :-(   I don't see much light at the end of this 
tunnel and the train is about to wipe us out!
