KREVOS Journal #2

Okay, so this will be the start of what will be a really long and informative night for me. It's clutch time, let's get to work. I'm going to do this in chronological order in the book, so this post is for the "Ethnography Essentials" reading, and so on. Although I have read this reading multiple times, it never fails to bring a new insight and perspective. Being a journalist or a reporter is similar to playing an instrument in the essence of you can't really master the art, but are able to go beyond your initial expectations. I really like how it talks about how "ethnographic data" is fleeting, and it's the duty of the ethnographer to record it or preserve it as long as possible before it disappears. It almost seems repetitive when I say it provides invaluable tidbits of information that are fundamental for real  journalism. It taught me this time that all five senses are more important than just two. It isn't enough just to participate you need to observe the sights and smells and the feeling as well. Okay one down, more to go.
