VIDEO: Getty Images Losing Ground in Mid-Stock Business as CEO Steps Down

With the news of Getty CEO Jonathan Klein stepping down to take on the role of Chairman (as reported here) Klein will have little to celebrate as the storied company itself celebrates 20 years in business this week. Neither do the photographers whose work is in the Getty Images archives, and who see this announcement – where Klein is Chairman without CEO authority, effectively not much to do – as a last ditch effort to survive, so they are not celebrating either.

I’m glad I saw this before I signed up for Getty. I have been considering getting into the stock photo biz during the slow months and Getty was at the top of my list.
