It's not just relevant to marketing, but also to all types of media. Newsrooms lose the same potential when they separate photographers from writers, copy editors from designers, “Web” people from “Print” people. We need to focus on the fact that we're all story tellers, we just tell the stories differently.

I think the silver lining to the layoffs we've been seeing in the news industry is that (at least in my experience) as staffs get smaller you have to learn to do more. I have so much more appreciation for a beautiful photo or elegant design than I did a few years ago, and I think that makes our products better.
