Title: French newspaper removes all images in support of photographers
Post by: 4seasons on November 18, 2013, 23:00

Just find an interesting article about French newspaper which shows power of photography by removing all images.

To coincide with Paris Photo's opening, French newspaper Libération has chosen to remove all images from its 14 November issue in a bid to show the power and importance of photography at a time when the industry is facing unprecedented challenges, say the newspaper's editors.

Very nice to see this.  Funny that the importance of photography has risen, but the value of it has declined so sharply with over-supply.
