CMV: On scene news reporters are despicable human beings.

I’m gonna tell you all about a story that happened about a year ago.

Me and my girlfriend heard sirens outside, and walked out to see smoke coming two blocks up from our house. We knew our good friends lived on that block, so we decided to walk up, and make sure it wasn’t their home. It was. The neighbors grill malfunctioned and took out three connected homes.

We sat there and tried to console our friends as they literally watched everything they own burn. In the middle of the street was a camera man, and news reporter filming. My friends fiancé began to get upset at their presence, but her family kinda explained that it comes with the situation, which I also understand. I watched them approach a neighbor, then saw the neighbor point in our direction. They began walking over to us, obviously seeing how hysterical our friends were. I pointed out the fact they were coming. My friends fiancés mom intercepted them, and yelled “NO!” And this is what he said...”Listen, I know it’s shitty, i figured she would wanna talk to us before we interview all the neighbors” We all shouted a bunch of not nice things to them and they walked away.

Thankfully this is the only time I had to witness something like this. I admit, it’s possible they were young, and this situation was a rare occurrence. How can you not as a human being put yourself in a victims situation and say “How would I feel if this were me?” “Don’t you wanna share the worst experience of your life with the world?” These people can’t have any redeeming qualities. Change my view.

Some of the most iconic reporting ever done would fall into this category. Newsworthy stories occur when people are at their worst. Respecting privacy is important, but capturing raw emotion on camera and eyewitness testimonials is important too. It connects humans and real people to the stories being told. The people with the power to effect change in the world need to see that the world is in need of changing.  
  
For example, in 2015 during the height of the Syrian Refugee Crisis, there were pictures taken of families who had just lost their children due to the conflict, or due to the boats capsizing as they fled. These images were extremely powerful and they touched the emotions of many people in the world. As a result, many governments decided to take in more Syrian refugees.    
Sure, those reporters were probably being rude by capturing these peoples' worst moments, but if you look bigger picture, these reporters' stories helped those people.
