Remember, TV is a visual medium.... people want to see what's going on. Anyone can sit inside a studio and tell you about it. People in TV want to SHOW you what's happening. But, at some point, reporters need to be extra careful. You can be outside during a Hurricane and get yourself KILLED. Debris and downed power lines and such don't care if you're a reporter. They'll kill you just as quick as they'll kill anyone else. But TV people really are sincer...

NCF, yes TV is indeed a visual medium. But, that's the problem: Real investigative reporting in this country is dead or at least on life support because journalism is a popularity contest now consumed with not losing access to governors, mayors, senators, and the Chief of fire & police. You can't critique, criticize, or use critical thinking anymore. If you do, you lose access & get fired. What about the story? Not kissing butt.

MCF, I agree 100% safety in the midst of a natural disaster is truly essential & warranted. Being in the heart of a calamity in the forefront, doesn't mean you need to put yourself in danger, volatile situations, & bodily harm. Great reporters still create a vivid storyline & tapestry without being exposed to the elements. Use imagery, description, and the power of the written word to transport me into another person's experience=real journalism.
