From my Videojournalism book: chapter 2 on Pioneer VJs https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XNN7N57/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1490003585&sr=1-1&keywords=videojournalism


Being a VJ in the field reporting in conflict zones- “you have to question why you’re doing it and nothing compares to an important human rights story, but it should be the story driving you not the risk,that vicarious pleasure or thrill of it. Because if anything goes wrong you ask, why have I done this? Why have I run the risk of bullets and bombs, of being killed?” Gwynne Roberts told me.
