Anderson Cooper saving a boy in Haiti during a shooting. A slab of concrete was dropped of the boys head. Anderson Cooper, everyone. Some journalists like to be strictly observers. they don’t intervene, they don’t participate. they just document what they see, even if what they see is terrible. But the way I see it, journalists don’t exist in a vacuum. They are human beings, living and working in a very human environment. And that humanity is essential in relating to their stories. When you lose your humanity, you lose any kind of journalistic integrity you have left. The guy taking pictures is damn sure living in a vacuum. Same reporter who FEARLESSLY voice out his observations on how poorly the Philippine government is in addressing calamities when he came over last year to cover Super Typhoon Yolanda ruins.
Because of his honest constructive criticism,it created a big buzz locally local media included. All HANDS UP TO YOU!
