Answer 10

Go for both take pictures and then give the camera to someone else and tell them to photograph me as I save the person.

Just kidding.

On radio they raised this point about the camera people that took pictures of the guy that was necklaced in the recent xeno violence.

Their excuse was that if they had done anything the mob would've turned on them.

But it traumatizes them one of the guys that photographed necklacings in the late 80's apparently committed suicide.

Lets home their newspapers has referred them for professional help especial the young photographers.

Answer 11

I would go for the scoop as that would be my job at the end of the day

Answer 12

I can't see that I will do the story. Stories are plenty, friends are few.

If my boss forced me to do the story, I'd have to do it, but I'll do it in as sensitive a manner as possible.
