Keywords: economic crisis, digital photojournalism, professional and business models.

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to put in perspective the “crisis” notion: beyond the economic crisis of the past decade, the adoption of the digital media in the journalism field has brought into question not only news business models, but also professional ones. Our theoretical approach examines the definition of the double-sided crisis in the context of the media industry, and more specific regarding digital photojournalism, and wishes to identify the emerging professional and business models of the new media economy. The second part of the paper explores this transition from a local perspective, using a qualitative approach, based on a body of fourteen interviews, conducted one-on-one, with Romanian photojournalists.
