A job to die for

I'm not normally an envious person. But reading an AFP news report this morning nearly made me die in envy. Someone has a job to die for and it's not mine aaarrrggghh.
Check out this url about veteran war correspondent Kevin Sites and how Yahoo got him to report and churn out video, audio and daily blog entries on what Yahoo says are "the world's most important, yet under-reported" stories to a website called "Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone" that it will launch on September 26, 2005. Simply put, Kevin will report on every single armed conflict in the planet. Now isn't that a job that can literally get you killed? But what the heck, Kevin epitomizes the kind of people that I admire - people who like to live on the edge... Why not? After all, I live in one of the places tagged by Yahoo and Kevin as among the world's hot spots - The Philippines.
Kevin is a veteran and multi-awarded multimedia journalist; he also maintains a personal blog about his journalistic exploits.
What Kevin and Yahoo will do will definitely change the way we cover the news in the future. Kevin is a SoJo - a solo journalist equipped with the latest technology to deliver the news anytime, anywhere. This is definitely a far cry from the bulky news teams we have now where ego-tripping reporters think they are the story and where they work with underpaid but overworked news crew. I only wish I would experience what Kevin Sites is experiencing now, in this lifetime.
