The Camera and the Notepad


By Logan Martinez

I often am not just covering a news story, I am photographing the event as well. So the two most important items I always need are my camera and my notepad. And a pen. Never forget the pen, otherwise your brain might explode. Lately I have been forgetting my notepad or a pen and it has been disastrous. I like photographing most, but you always have to approach the person for their name and title. I know many fellow journalists struggle with approaching people, so maybe they should start carrying a camera to help them, though that might get a lot of people punched in the face. Well, it works for me. Good luck with that.

So. Don’t forget your camera. Your notepad. Or your pen. Oh, and make sure your camera has an SD card and a battery. That can get pretty hectic too.
