When reading the news or watching it on TV, it is easy to look at tragedies as things that are not real, just a fictional story like a movie. What I often forget, it that this is not Disney’s version of a tragedy, but people’s real lives, hurts, and troubles. I am guilty of not looking into a story seriously if I am not connected. However, as a crime news reporter, you have no choice but to put yourself into the situation. Being on the crime scene and witnessing the events first hand is something I do not feel I would be able to do. I know I would not be able to keep my cool when it came time to talk to grieving wives, husbands, children, or any significant other. I feel it would want to hung them and console them, instead of asking them how they were feeling. I know this is a job that must be done, in order to inform the public of events, so realizing just how much trouble witnessing these events causes a reporter, makes me gain a whole new respect for what they do. It takes a strong person to be able to put there self in that situation, and still remain human at the same time.
