I think there were 6 remaining from a once glorious stable of pros. A total restructuring they say. Kind of belies what the title means now, but they say photos will be obtained by other means.
As a whole, this is another indicator of the demise of photography as a skill, craft, and art. Everybody and their dog is now a "photographer" taking smartphone shots, and the world is swamped with images of all kinds of everything from everywhere.
Personally, I'd rather see some of SI's staff writers flushed. A few of those over-opinionated blowhards are truly terrible.
