What does it take to be a great journalist?
9:01pm - Jun 16, 2009
Final Salute





















A great journalist cares about people and an ideal world. A great journalist can approach a topic as vast as the universe and make it simple and interesting to both Bill Gates and the new immigrant who is trying to learn the language.

The written word has power. With skill, reporters can expose the dark deeds of the world and bring them into the light. However, journalism is limited to non-apathetic, monolinguistic people with some time to kill and a few neurons still firing.

Enter photojournalism. It destroys almost all barriers. Justice can draw its sword in the time it takes an eye to scan an image. An image has no age, language or intelligence limits.

Enter the photojournalist.

A journalist tells stories. A photographer takes pictures of nouns (people, places and things). A photojournalist takes the best of both being a writer and photographer and locks it into the most powerful medium available – images frozen in time.
