The Story of Daniel Pearl as a journalist in Dubai was very tragic. Daniel Pearl was very brave of facing those people for a interview seeking and asking information into unknown territory that leads him to a very tragic death. In the movie narrated by Mariane his wife, it has been said that his body was cut into seven pcs. though that the video of Daniel Pearl being killed by the people who kidnapped him was not shown in the movie I can imagine how hard his experience being tortured and killed of the reason of probing information to a person who is on his own territory, the Muslims knows that he is part of the CIA or some spy of USA, besides of being a Jew I suppose that’s one of the unlucky part of his short journey in Dubai.
With my own opinion, I think that Daniel Pearl should not pursue that interview, because in the first place he knows that the person he wanted to interview was a dangerous person and doesn’t want a person like him or a journalist like him that leads him to be kidnapped by supporters of Omar Sheikh, though I know that Daniel Pearl only wants to seek information about Omar Sheikh but he should think first about his safety of performing that interview. I believe that a journalist should not put his/her self or life into danger when he/she already knows that it is not safe to interview a specific group or person because it may lead to a misunderstanding and may cause a problem between the journalist and the interviewee. For me it is important to a journalist to make sure that the interviewee is harmful and knows what a journalist are capable of and especially their task that they just want to know and to write information to a specific matter, also for me a journalist should seek first or observe some of the information about the person or group he/she needs to communicate with regarding the issues about the interviewee.
The goal of a journalist is to “tell the truth and nothing but the truth” but in the situation of Daniel Pearl he told

    Isabel Awad Summary

    Opposing all the other views, Isabel Awad discusses in her academic journal, called Journalists and their sources, how some reporters might abuse the rights given to them by people such as “the public’s right to know” in a way that harms their sources. According to Awad, some professional reporters have a manipulative nature that causes them to abuse their sources, or the other way around, allows their sources to manipulate them by using strategies such accepting money, presents, or any other form of bribery. Awad clearly states in her introduction how it is recommended to ‘‘[u]se special sensitivity when dealing with children or inexperienced sources or subjects’’ and ‘‘show compassion for those who may be affected adversely by news coverage’’…

    Pollard applied for a job in the CIA but was turned down because of occasional drug use in college. Officials thought Pollard had mental problems so they sent him for therapeutic help. Pollard came back with fine results, so he got back his job (Goldenberg, 8). He was offered a job on the CIA as an analyst for Naval Intelligence, so he took the job. Pollard was pro-Israel; therefore he made sure everything was good with the country. One day, Pollard came upon horrifying information which was in his hands to stop. He found out planned attacks from Arab countries on Israel. (Msn, 1) The attacks were well planned terrorist attacks, nuclear capabilities, and poison gas, all related to Syria and Iraq. Pollard confronted the CIA with this disturbing news but they replied: "Jews get nervous talking about poison gas; they don't need to know" (Msn, 1). Pollard repeatedly confronted the CIA officials but he got no more replies.…

    The differences between the articles emphasise the fine line between objective reporting and opinionated reporting. No journalist or writer can be truly objective, however, there is a vast difference between Thompson’s article – which is written from the first person perspective and includes some of his predictions for events after 9/11 – and Pullen’s article – which includes numerous verifiable facts and is written in the third person.…

    I will always question if all of the events happen within all families that experience the same situation. I believe I question this story because I grew up with a grandfather who worked in the secret service, whose job was to protect the president from cruel people. Terrorists are some of the people that my grandfather protected the president from, and if I started to feel bad for the terrorists I feel I am going against my country. The media is also a factor in how I feel towards terrorists because they tell of horrible stories and they do not leave out the gore or tears. The Patriots Day movie is an example of one of these movies that caused me to question aspects of this book. If this book was true for everyone, our world would be a better place. I do believe that everyone could learn from something in this book whether you are strongly against terrorism, or if you have some questions on the story besides what is shown in the…

    Making a story out of the first information that comes to your hands is something a journalist should never do, at least not before verifying that the information provided is true. People tend to confuse the words truth and accuracy when it comes to information. Some fact might be accurate but are a lie, they are accurate to the lie; other details can be true but the ways they are presented are inaccurate. A journalist should search a way to make his or her information the most true and accurate there is in order to make himself accountable and transparent for the audience. People read news every day and believe what is said, as a journalist the best you can do is tell the truth, you don’t want people believing and living a lie.…
