“News is the first rough draft of history”
Philip L.
Graham “News is the first rough draft of history” I agree with this quote
because there is a difference between facts that you would get proof from different
people or some information you would get from the internet. Also, some
information that you would see in a documentary or things that happened in real
life. News is the rough draft of history I think to me that this quote means
the news are things that you would get from everyday life their consequences
and their flaws. Just like news are everyday life what people do and what can
happen to them if they did it wrong or right.
In the Dan Eldon film it talks about how a
bunch of reporters risked their lives to see the making of history or to get a
good story. The reporters were front row to the making of history. Their
stories would be published on the news they would go viral if they were good
enough. Dan Eldon was a reporter went to Somalia to get a good story from what
was going on in that side of the world that they lived on. The Dan Eldon
project was a film about Dan Eldon himself and other photographers/journalists
in conflict zones risking their lives taking pictures and making stories. Dab Eldon
was an English photographer who went to Somalia-Africa. Where he took pictures
of the people who lived there and all the kids. Dan wasn’t able to share his
story with the world because he go shot while in Somalia. So they made a
documentary called The Dan Eldon Film.
Back
than people such as journalists didn’t have the right equipment to make a good
story. They would have to face danger head on. They would have to go and write
their stories based on their point of view. Isn’t that what the news does it
bases their evidence on their point of view and what they know. They take their
work and switch it around with other peoples to create a lead story. We have
history its self the news what people use to base history from their own
perspective on and then we have the future not knowing what will happen
tomorrow but still trying to put a title on it. The future is ahead of us and
we don’t know what will happen but we still want to know so we base our stories
on what we think will happen and that’s how we get the news. The new is the
first rough draft of history because we use the history and twist it up and put
a title on it than we have the news. The history with news the future with news
that we all will see and judge than create more news from our opinion on it.
