The Role of a Reporter

The Times: A thought provoking article folks on the role of a reporter in war and natural disasters. Its interesting folks, if your a blogger and you find yourself at a news event, are you a citizen or a citizen reporter/blogger. If your see a car crash do you think about those hurt or do you get your mobile out and take a picture and send it to your blog or twitter page. Also recall placing a copyright sign by the picture. This article made me think, God forbid that I find myself in a terrorists incident or natural disaster, do I see who is hurt and look after them or do start to blog, sending updates to my blog and to twitter. I will be honest folks, this blog is my testament in many ways, I get my mobile out and start to take pictures and add commentary, also looking to sell any pictures to the local or national papers. The blogger is the modern reporter, if we are constant bloggers we should act like Independent reporters, that means you report. There will be others that are appalled, I am appalled but that is life. This blog will always be honest with its kind readers. Read of the Day.
