Kevin Sites is a journalist for Yahoo! and he visited our school last night for an interactive discussion/lecture. He is the future of journalism as he embarks on "solo journalism" - just him, a video camera, a laptop, and a still camera.
He is known for two big achievements. Back in 2004, he was the one who taped an American marine shooting an injured Iraqi in a mosque. He talked about the moral implications of releasing the tape and how much it affected him. You can view a video about the shooting here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=o4j50ghDeKA
The other thing he is known for is his Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone project. He visited 20 wars in 1 year. Going east to west he visited sites like the Congo, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Myanmar. You can see his videos, read blog entires, and view pictures here: http://hotzone.yahoo.com.
He is the man's man of journalism.
