The Reporters

Reporting has changed a lot since the coming of the internet. Also the job of reporting from various parts of the world has become more dangerous. But I still salute the reporters who risk their lives to report and uncover truth behind the stories. Before it was just that only the reporters working in newspaper organizations or the electronic media were reporting the stories. But with the advent of internet and technological advances, reporting has gone way forward, with amateur reporters’ sometimes breaking news which the professional reporters have themselves relied upon.

So now the reporting of news is no longer a matter of professional but anybody with a camera and computer can report on breaking news from their hometown faster than the real reporters can come in to report it. It has been a blessing and a curse at the same time, since the professional reporters have to work even harder to compete and report on news and also news which seems to be ignored sometimes by the newspapers and television stations is being reported through the internet and other electronic outlets. The coming age will see more advances in reporting news and many people with no intent to become a reporter will stumble upon the risky and adventurous world of reporting.
