Microstocks losing grounds? Not!

PhotoShelter‘s 2009 What Buyers Want survey gives some refreshing news to stock photographers. 550+ global photo buyers like Time, Business week, National Geographic, advertising firms book publishing (etc..) where asked about their image licensing need for 2009. 75% of them say their rights-managed licensing will increase or remain the same. And even better, 58% of buyers say they will decrease use of microstock.

Update: It turns out the number was a misprint. It should have said 22% instead of 58%.
