David Gilkey, a National Public Radio photographer, headed to Haiti to capture scenes of the catastrophe we all are quite familiar with by now. We often times never hear from the camera men and women who place themselves in the most compromising of situations in order to provide us with an insider’s view of modern day marvels and calamities alike. David Gilkey gives us a brief glimpse into his experience on the ground in Haiti, and how he weathered the choas surrounding him.

Nicceee…you know i will admit i am guilty of constantly bashing the media and how it prefers to run the business all under the impression ‘for the sake of the public’. But for all the 99% BS around it…i usually forget the 1% of the honest media that still exists (might be stretching with the %s, but nowadays that’s the reality).
I have the utmost respect for stations like NPR who go out of their way to inform their audience on what’s going on (closely based on the truth/reality of things as they can closely investigate and obtain). Plus their continuing commitment to covering everyday stories that may not interest other major stations due to maybe the lack of drama in them. And now this…shows/reminds us that the journey for covering any story is never easy BUT covering a story close to reality is even more of a hardship them what is portrayed on the screen or what a radio can’t fully demonstrate. So Thank You NPR and it’s hardworking reporters for reminding me that their is still certain trustworthy medias, which through their work allow people (such as myself) to still have hope in the media (minimal as it maybe…BUT it is still there).
