Newspapers are having a hard enough time paying the staff they have and are cutting a lot of people from the newsroom. Most shooters are now working as freelance and already have a name and contacts with the papers so getting in will be very difficult. Your best bet is to just do it when you can and try and upload to reuters or sell to AP. The money sucks but the more you turn in work that people want to buy the more likely you are to get assigned work.

sad but true. Freelance is the way to go. Work those contacts as much as fucking possible because the competition from fucking iReporters is already sucking money from working photogs (both TV and print).

Journalism is less like the good old days and more a generic business now.
