The Hot Zone

Yesterday I jumped at the opportunity to see a presentation from the of Kevin Sites, a journalist who has recently published a book and documentary of his travels to all of the worlds areas of conflict.

He talked much of how each conflict is different in the world and his goals of putting a face to each of them, as well as a truth behind it all.  

But what I found most interesting was the fact that Sites stepped aside from his producer, NBC, after controversy surround the mosque shooting for the prospects of a blog.  I find this interesting because he explained how much more freedom he had on the internet rather then wondering if his producer would want to protect their interests if something controversial came along again.

With his website he can post whatever videos, stills, and type whatever he wants without being censored, at least in America.  The future of journalism is the collision of streaming video, photography, and print that can all be attained on the internet.
