My reporting in africa wouldn't be political per se, but it's certainly the point of my reporting - and of a lot of other reporters i know: human suffering is bad, and if reporting stories about it brings it to light and someone does something, that's part of the point of journalism. and it's a thin line between that and activism, and you have to be careful about that.
Political Suffering Journalism
I have always felt comedy and tragedy are roommates. if you look up comedy and tragedy, you will find a very old picture of two masks. one mask is tragedy. it looks like its crying. the other mask is comedy. it looks like its laughing. nowadays, we would say, how tasteless and insensitive. a comedy mask is laughing at a tragedy mask.
Two Laughing Tragedy
Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? no, we just enjoy it. each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. we don't need to go to china to enjoy the blue sky. we don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. we can be in touch with these things right now.

Journalism today is obviously in a major transition. going to journalism school, learning how to write, working your way up in a little paper in decatur, georgia and then moving to atlanta and then maybe to new york: it's just over. you have to have a whole other set of skills now. you have to be a videographer, you have to do social media. you can't do a long, thoughtful, insightful piece if you don't have the time to do reporting, particularly reporting around somebody who doesn't want to be known or an issue that doesn't want to reveal itself.

My point is trump is trump. he's the same guy wherever he is. but the reporting on him on middle east trip is nowhere near like the reporting on trump when he's in washington. there aren't any leaks. for example, we haven't yet seen a story quoting unnamed sources in the saudi government saying that the king was profoundly embarrassed when trump asked if there was a mcdonald's nearby.

The truth is the committed left press in america is not longer interest in reporting the news. anything that hinders a favorable view of the far left will be ignored; anything that advances liberal causes will be celebrated. news reporting today is largely about ideology and shaping the culture, not about informing the public.
