“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.
