'Put yourself in Richard Engel's shoes
Put yourself in Richard Engel`s shoes for a moment. If you had the job of being NBC`s chief foreign correspondent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and let`s say, like him, you speak Arabic, and your special specialization is the Middle East, it`s tough to imagine at this point when you are getting to come home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], isn`t it? I am talking about, the uprisings in Tunisia that began just four months ago, continued to ricochet and swell throughout North Africa and the Middle East, in countries like Bahrain and Yemen and Syria,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and, obviously, now, Libya.
Actually, I had already been pondering life-as-Engel however i hadn't gotten to the purpose of wondering when to come home. I had been still stuck on where to start. Once you're there and set up, do you just go out and look for some war? I imagine actual-Richard has a smarter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], better connected method, but me-as-Richard would probably just stick to the booms and smoke.
Suppose you're NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro, among the first reporters into Libya after its rebellion began. You need to know if the rebels are advancing. The only method to find out would be to drive toward the leading lines before artillery shells exploding who are around you make it clear that they are not. Next, you figure out how to get back alive. Then you try to rest, because you'll try it again tomorrow.
Thanks to Richard's reporting last night, we have seen very clearly how that looks.
Richard Engel is really a true old-time reporter. He is doing possess the advantage of knowing the language which without doubt is a great help to him. He lived in Egypt of the period of time so they know the ropes. He mentioned one time that his wife divorced him due to his work, and so i would guess that makes it easier for him to complete his job of reporting these wars. It should be an extremely hard job and I am worried that he can get himself killed. I truly do like Richard's reporting.
He and Rachel have good rapport together. I am certain they're good buddies since he was her guide in Iraq. But then, Rachel is really a contented person. I am certain she likes EVERYBODY (within reason).
Yeah, I can't help wonder how some guys can perform that for years and never end up with PTSD. I imagine that Richard has seen as many dead and mutilated bodies every soldier. And, since he knows the languages there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he gets direct feedback on all of the violence in the people that are experiencing it daily. All that emotion has got to be rough.
Where will we find this option ?? I'm not sure any war veterans that would take his job for any amount of money. They are fully aware what he's up against emotionally, not to mention bodily danger.
(oh, 5.1 was said to be a new topic. I recieve crazy.)
some people are attracted to danger and are drawn to finding out the truth (which can be an unsafe place too.) Investigative journalists have a quest or perhaps a burden to find out exactly what the truth is without regard to personal danger. Also, sorry to obtain all psychotherapy on you, however, many people develop in dangerous situations and it is what they are used to and go into professions which are dangerous (or create their very own drama [Glenn Beck anybody?]). Normal is boring for them.
I can not speak for Richard Engel or how are you affected within the man's soul, but he subscribed to this and I hope he has a healthy method to cope with the stress. Drinking with Rachel seems like a great outlet.
One thing none people can fully appreciate is the sacrifice and dedication that it requires to produce and deliver this sort of high quality journalism,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The most crucial aspect of maintaining democracy is to make sure continuous access to complete facts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Many people select a news source that satisfies this need.
This means that Richard Engel and Rachel do something which is just as important as the items being done by our elected leaders.
I usually wonder how Richard seems to look freshly showered, fed, and rested while traveling light. Since will be a story.
I attempt my best not to do the horror movie flippy-flappy thing with my hands after i saw that footage of Engel last night, or even thinking about the danger of what he along with other great and amazing war/foreign correspondents do as a living to obtain extremely vital information out in to the world as nobody can. Makes you really appreciate the truly amazing risk, totality and need for what they do,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and just how much the planet needs them.
My hats on him along with other war correspondents who've done great reporting over the years. And please, stay safe.
Couldn't believe I just read something last week on a blog somewhere - guy was jealous Richard got more attention than rebels or another reporters. I needed to indicate 1. Unlike the rebels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he has a choice of whether or not to be there. He doesn't HAVE to be there - he is doing it because he CARES enough to get it done. 2. So why do individuals have to be JEALOUS when someone is putting their life at risk? Tiny % of people on the planet like are talented and courageous enough. Be glad he's there. We'd like to offer him a less chaotic place. ANYTIME. I've grown up to find out there actually are just a couple good men on the planet that ensure that it stays a much better place. And all sorts of their peers seem to be insanely jealous. Nice guys don't have to finish last - actually, it's a crime if they do.
And so i pondered and worried he not only needs to steer clear of bullets, but other insanity. Maybe there is a reason he's not the cameraman. Maybe we identify better with Richard than others. So, could they be going to hate the viewers that follow him? I promise, we won't like other correspondents/reporters more simply because he decides to go elsewhere. In fact, we'll follow him.
Mom person that I am, I know the jobs reached be achieved, I recognize the man's probably enjoying the adrenaline rush, though not the death and destruction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just seems like a great person, but I hope he comes back home safe eventually.
I'm rather glad installed up a no fly zone, because with regards to freedom, it doesn't come cheap. Some help isn't a very bad thing. I really hope we transform it over within a month or so towards the UK and France. It can't hurt for the Italians to really operate and help (They are doing possess a dog in this fight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], past time they cleared up a few of their own mess)
FOX has higher viewer ratings since it is available on all cable programming. To possess MSNBC in your cable package,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you must pay more. With so many people unemployed, most pick the basic package, if they can afford cable whatsoever. If there is a method to level the arena,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], CNN, FOX AND MSNBC could be open to a much broader audience. While I would miss MSNBC (must i be unable to afford it) I and most other followers from the truth would still remain in keeping with core values of right and wrong.
Actually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are many others around the world putting themselves in Engel's shoes everyday. I've got a journalist friend in Yemen, Jeb Boone, who's since the protests in Sana'a. He is at the square last Friday when Saleh's thugs opened fire from the rooftops. You can follow his reports at "An American Southerner within the Imam's Mafraj" at WordPress. Jeb would be a graduate in Arab studies and language who had traveled the ME, and located a quality in the people of Yemen that he respected. Jeb has become working as a managing editor for that Yemen Times and does free-lance work with the Guardian,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Independent, and also the Telegraph. Search for his operate in this Sunday's Telegraph. My deep respect and admiration go to all who're on the front lines telling the stories in our lives.
The man has a knack for breaking it down for us dummies(me anyways) here at home. Often though, he breaks it down so great, which i wonder when the evil doers are watching to allow them to learn what is is really going on, so they can plan accordingly. The other day he stated that the controlling governing bodies who're successful from the uprisings are either allowing more freedoms and services towards the governed (good thing) or they are turning up pressure and cracking much more heads (very bad thing). This was good information and modern Machiavellian or should I say Engelian philosophical advice for controlling parties to follow and that we want the controlling parties at nighttime. Engel will make an excellent diplomat or maybe even Secretary of State for an administration worthy of his many skills.
I too hope he stays safe. Maybe GE (msnbc parents) could tap and redistribute a number of that 14.2 Billion having a B nontaxable $$$$$$ they're hoarding and hire some top notch security and maybe even open a school to train war correspondents in the ways of Richard. Possibly even make Richard the dean or something.

A whole lot easier to imagine than to really do it such as the bad ass Engel does. First, prior to attempting it, you ought to go to the biggest neighborhood in a major US city at 3 each morning and just walk down and up the streets, maybe knock on some doors and hang up by helping cover their the bloods and crips and get a feel for the heart thumping. If a person could pass that test in English, then go to the neighborhood in which the language is foreign and check out that same test and spend time with the nuestros and surenos, if one passes that test, maybe they could carry Engel's lunch box or something like that.
