Last night I was in a Yoga class and as always I was towards the back of the room. Two woman in the front were talking about how bad media is and they were "watching the local news tonight and..." Anyhoo they were basically saying that we blow everything out of proportion and we all don't know what we are doing.
I just sat, waiting for the class to start listening to this. I've heard this kind of chat before and I think every time someone talks, its easier for me to just laugh it off. So, I just sat and listened realizing these woman obviously watched another station because they had no clue who I was, or they just didn't see me.
But I know I can learn from people like them. #1- I can learn that maybe they are just the type of woman that think they can do everything better. #2- Or maybe they are just very insecure. #3- or maybe, just maybe we (journalists as a whole) DO tend to lean towards the stereotype of what they were discussing and maybe I should keep this in mind every time I go out on a story. But wait...I already do. Its just another day in the life of a T.V. Reporter.
