At this point in history, we are all digital photographers. Whether we shoot film and have it scanned or capture direct to digital, almost all images will be judged and/or manipulated on computer monitors in their production cycle. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of confusion about proper color management and your images stand a good chance of being edited on a out-of-date or improperly calibrated monitors and will often be converted or tagged with incorrect color spaces. The only real protection you have as a photographer is to properly color manage using industry standards. A good place to look for standards is http://www.updig.org. They have set up some guidelines for how digital images should be viewed, delivered and printed. These guidelines still leave some room for interpretation so based on my experience working with top photographers and from delivering digital files to ad agencies and magazines, I can offer a more specific answer.
