Passion and compassion
Tears welled in (2002 alum) Willie Allen's eyes as he recounted the story of photographing victims of Hurricane Katrina to me and five other Chips Quinn Scholars. Allen said he didn't feel ashamed to show his feelings during stories that touched his heart. The thing to remember, he said, is to do our job well despite our emotion.
I learned so much in those five minutes with him. I learned what passion and compassion mean in journalism. I learned that we tell stories about real people, and we are real people. Having the passion to share that with the community is the power we possess.
