This survey has been published in 2009 from the European Federation of Journalists.

In 2008, the critical state of the profession of photojournalists had been examined in a survey among the member unions of the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ). Major problems are for instance:

  • bad working conditions
  • unfair contracts
  • low remunerations

which result mainly from competition with amateur photographers, restriction on photography in public spaces but also from the financial crisis. According to the survey, solutions should be put forward by the unions.
