Now I'm back, and I'm starting my senior year! It's crazy to think that I only have one year left here, but I am extremely excited about my semester.
Right now, I'm part of a group creating the social media desk for the new UNews@4. It's exciting to think about the ways to incorporate social media and user generated content for a newscast.
Amidst my shifts at the station producing, reporting and brainstorming, classes and trying to unpack my apartment, I came across something that really touched me this week.
The photo of the dog of a Navy Seal who died in the helicopter crash a few weeks ago.
Here's a link to a story about the dog on the Huffington Post.
I also grabbed the picture off the NY Post site here:
This image really proves two things:
1. The power of a photo/video
2. The relationship between a dog and its owner.
I have always been one to love photography and videography (hence why I love TV and sharing video with others) because of it's power to provoke emotion and show things that can't be expressed in words. This photo is the epitome of that because it provokes an emotion that would otherwise not exist or not with the same strength as just hearing about it. It also shows the love between man and his best friend. Usually it is the other-way around and a dog owner has to put his dog to sleep. This time it is flipped, and really proves the relationship goes both ways. Makes me miss my dog, but also love the fact that a relationship like that can exist.
That's all for now, I'll add more soon :)
