Digital vs. old style

Digital vs. old style
: Glenn Reynolds does the pro-con boogie with digital vs. film photography.

At the MIT Media Lab event last week, I sat next to the person in charge of design and photography at Newsweek and asked her how much of her photography is digital these days.

She said at least 80 percent (more than I would have thought). Mostly what she gets done in film is special studio shoots (though she also noted that when she needed some extensive work done quickly over the Thanksgiving holiday, the British photographer who did it used digital and she was delighted with the speed).

As Glenn notes, digital is certainly leading in news (witness Zeyad). The rest will follow.
