On a more serious note, has anyone done review of how the Chicago Sun-Times has done after getting rid of their photographers and just giving the reporters iPhones?

Not sure about a review, but the paper did  hire back four photographers in early March (http://www.robertfeder.com/2014/03/04/amid-more-layoffs-sun-times-rehires-photogs/) but that is after laying off 30!
