Pardon if it gets posted multiple times, but I think it should be said. About four years ago, first Place winner in TV Spot News for the National Press Photographer's Association was Lisa Berglund of KNSD/San Diego "Winning the War." That was a difficult competition; Her work was up against hundreds of Television News Photographer's around the nation. It is hard to be number one in that group. I know, because the highest I ever got was third place for some terribly dramatic footage that almost cost my life, and certainly ruined my Christmas morning. Only you have been making heated and vicious generalizations in this thread . You continue to use "wtf" in what otherwise could have been a gentlemanly conversation. You denigrated my former profession, and used condescending language in addressing me. I did not make a career in television news by being sensitive or by having a short fuse. That type of person would last about one day in a professional newsroom. There are strong egos in a newsroom, and that is as it should be. The pressures and dangers in the profession lure strong-willed people. That is why I doubt what you say about PJ's being told exactly what to shoot by reporters.
