However, this discussion began with the state of photo journalism; which historically meant newspapers, magazines, and the occasional book (none of which reproduce the beauty of a silver print). The best photo journalism, today, is mostly accessed through computers. The beauty of fine photographic prints requires trips to museums and galleries (or visits to friends who print); and represents a whole different market than photo journalism. While a very few photo journalists and documentary photographers also find an "art print" market; it remains rare occurrence. This is the state-of-our-art. So brain storming how to make this, current state, work remains the challenge.
