The Traits to a Great photojournalist

Photo journalism is not only a danger job but it can also be a fulfilling one at the same time. The pictures that are captured by you can easily tell a story to the rest of the world. By capturing the lives, actions and events through photo journalism, it gives the rest of the world an opportunity to see the things that are going on. Photo journalism can be and many times is a very dangerous job. It takes a very courageous person to willingly put their lives on the line in order to tell a story. A person that is willing to endanger themselves for the benefit of the rest of the world is a special person. I also think that it takes a very fearless person to put themselves in harms way, keep their composure and to get their story across. Usually when a person is in danger and under pressure, they crack. But for a person to keep under complete control and to get the job done is a very dedicated person.

Changing the Views of Journalism

My views toward journalism have changed dramatically since watching the documentary Dying to Tell the Story of Dan Elton. Before I was under the impression that journalism consisted of taking photos and exploring the different parts of the world. I didn't know the intensity and the depth of the job and the thing that actually went into journalism. I now know that people put their lives on the line in order to capture a photo or to tell a story. The situations that journalist put themselves in in order to tell us a story is not only serious but very dangerous. I personally think that if a person believes strongly in a story and believes that it indeed would effect the views and opinions of the people in general then i think that they should do everything in their power in order to expose that story. I think that journalist do a very commendable job, often times putting their own lives in danger in order to give us the people a life altering story.

Control of Your Future

The only person that has control of your future is you. A person determines their own future and the events that take place in their future. Even though many of life's obstacles and uncontrollable things play a factor in the things that happen, the end result of how a person's life goes depends on that person. Things like race/ethnicity and poverty plays a part in the surrounds that a person can be put in. Those things can hinder the ability of a person, but if they allow it. The choices that are made during your life and the decisions that you choose to stand behind will in some way or another effect your life. It can not only be a negative effect which is what people tend to focus on more than anything but it can be a positive one as well. The only person that has the will to change the things that happen in your life is you. If your surroundings are not the best, work harder to get yourself out of those conditions. If people are trying to hinder your growth and development, work to not only prove to them but to yourself that you and only you have the ability to change and control your life. Life is not hard but it is possible to live the way that you want to. It's not hand that you're dealth but how you play your cards

Fight for what you believe in!!!!!

Changing the mind of a national government is no easy job. but with determination and drive, it possible to get your personal views and opinions across. The current events that are happening in Egypt are not only sad but unfortunate.
there have been a number of organized protest that have happened due to issues and different views over the amount of media exposure. the Internet was licensed with a few restrictions but then was eventually shut down completely. what started as a isolated protest became nation wide. people of all ages around Egypt are fighting for the things that they believe are right.
Social media has played a major role in helping to expose these protest to the rest of the world. The people of Egypt are fighting to keep the connection between them and the rest of this world through social media.
they are all fighting for the things that they think are right and the things that they believe in the most. They want the same amount of rights that are licensed to the rest of the world. they are fighting to get the privileges that they had back. They are protesting and exposes the faults that are happening with the rest of the world

Time Spent Consuming the Media Everyday

Today the media seems to be taking over the world. Whether it be getting on face-book, using a cell phone and watching the television. The media today seems to be effecting the modern day teenage society but has played a part in everyone's life today. The amount of hours that an average teen spends a day using the media is probably outlandish. For starters, cell phones seem to be the norm. in a teen's life, bringing texting and mobile web into every part of their day. Then most homes in America have one computer or more and access to the internet. Teens and business people spend more time using the media in a week than any other activity (second to sleeping). Using the media has become a normal part of the people of today's society and doesn't seem to be slowing down but further advancing in the near future.
