Last night during a discussion with my father about a Bill O'Reilly book he recently read, he mentioned to me that I should be writing about some of my experiences as a reporter. I thought about it all night, and decided he's right. There are so many times as a reporter that we tell the story that needs to be heard. But we often don't tell about the things that go on behind the scene, the conversations, the chase, and often times the hearbreak that comes with telling some of the stories. Most people see reporters at their best. When we are composed. But it's not always like that.
So, as a way to document my journey and career, I have decided to write it all down. A friend of mine told me his professor told him that real journalist don't have blogs, and if they do they are not credible, unbiased journalists. But I disagree. I think the story I tell the general public is unbiased. The story I tell here doesn't have to be. Times are changing. People want to be able to connect with the person on tv. They want to know that they too are upset about things, or feel passion. I can say, I do.
Now, sometimes I may just post the story I did for the day. But if something significant happens, I will add more. I just want this to be a way for me to look back and say, I remember that, and here is why it impacted my life.
