Fox news reporter lashes out on interview

Reporters and journalists are supposed to be objective. I was told that no matter how passionate you are about a subject, a reporter should not be subjective, but instead maintain objectivity.

"You are the devil!" "You're going to hell!"
Should Fox news have run this in the first place?

There vs Here

As I was on youtube, I was searching for videos that related to the world of media. Then I came across this video about two bears talking about journalism. Cute, right? In actuality, it slightly crushed my dreams into a blender and poured it into a sundae glass called reality. They didn't even give me a cherry. 

During high school and in college, I spent my time watching the news, reading the papers and admiring the work reporters put in to make it out there. But where is there? There to me was CNN. CNN Asia actually. Imagine walking up the Great Wall of China, exploring the beautiful city of Tokyo while covering a feature story about authentic Korean cuisine. There to George (I decided to name the bear, George) was at the New York Times. But in actuality, how many of us really do get there? In this industry maybe some of us never get there, but instead just stay...here.

Photo Journalism

Photo Journalism Ethics

Last semester I took a photo journalism class and we talked about journalism ethics. When covering a story, how would you approach the subject when the story hits so close to home? How do you react when you arrive at the scene where people are crying and hurting? Is it appropriate to start clicking away?

Scenario I: If you were there when Robert Kennedy was assassinated with a camera in hand, what would you have done? Would you have taken the picture or would you not?

According to Kobre's book, this is what Boris Yaro did.

"When Robert Kennedy was assassinated, a bystander blocked Boris Yaro's camera. He said to the woman, 'Goddammit, lady this is history!' and took this unforgettable picture" (Kobre 365).
