The Tough Job of a Journalist

May 8th, 2012

Has it ever crossed your mind that at one point in Kenya, walking around with a camera, was as dangerous as being in possession of an illegal fire arm? Well, in the early 90′s being a journalist in Kenya carried with it grave risks and hazards, but one man stood the test of time. Starting his career in 1991, a year synonymous with the history of multi party democracy in Kenya, veteran photojournalist Govedi Asutsa, had his fair share of harassment due to what was considered then as "controversial" photographs, portraying the government in bad light. And as the world marks the world press freedom day, Govedi Asustsa, who works for the standard newspaper, retraces his steps 21 years back, detailing the price he had to pay sometimes for press freedom in what he calls the other side of the picture. Judy Kosgei has that report

May 8th, 2012

"Some guy came up to me said, ‘Are you John Stossel?…I hope you die soon,’" recounts Fox Business Network host and Reason contributor John Stossel.

During a lively Q&A session, Stossel took questions from the audience about his book, his time as a consumer reporter, and the power of the internet to communicate libertarian ideas. About 6.30 minutes. Camera by Joshua Swain, Meredith Bragg and Jim Epstein. Edited by Swain.

Dan Savage discusses bible at High School Journalism convention

May 2nd, 2012

Nearly a dozen of high school journalists walked out of a lecture by Dan Savage, the prominent ant-bullying advocate that pioneered the ‘It Gets Better’ campaign. His comments about the relationship between anti-gay bullying and the bible sparked a walkout of Christian teens at the National High School Journalist Conference in Seattle. Mr Savage called the defectors ‘pansy-assed’ and would not back down from his comments. I thought this would be about anti-bullying,’ Rick Tuttle, the journalism adviser for Sutter Union High School in California, told Fox News. ‘It turned into a pointed attack on Christian beliefs.’ Mr Savage’s keynote address was presented in a large lecture hall for thousands of people. ‘People often say that they can’t help with the anti-gay bullying acts because it says right there in Leviticus, it says right there in Timothy, it says right there in Romans, that being gay is wrong,’ Mr Savage said. ‘We can learn to ignore the bullsh*t in the Bible and what it says about gay people.’ He compared dogmatic acceptance of anti-gay teachings equivalent to adhering to verses about slavery and eating shellfish, two issues that have been reinterpreted in modern day. Many people in the audience met his statements with applause, but some Christians did not appreciate Mr Savage’s comparison and walked out.
