Wow! The internet is an amazing thing. The amount of comments I have received from you in such a short space of time is beyond my comprehension. Thanks to everyone who’s joining my conversation on my journalistic journey.
My post about the policeman being shot has provoked the most attention it would seem… So I just have to share with you the story that I covered today.
I went to cover a house robbery. Two robbers attacked a family in their house, the house owner started struggling with one of the robbers. The house owner’s puppy, which he had gotten just yesterday for his birthday, started barking at the robbers, so one of the robbers shot the puppy dead.
Here’s the wierd part: While the house owner was struggling with the one robber, the robber with the gun tried to shoot the house owner, but instead the bullet hit the other robber in the neck.
Now, you were commenting on how bad crime is and the lack of resources for our SA police. To me, today’s story is just proof that God’s still there, watching. He hasn’t forgotten our country.
I sincerely hope all of you will frequent my blog and keep on giving your views – for me as journalist, your comments help me think of story ideas and of follow-ups to my articles. It helps me tremendously to know what the public thinks and then I can follow up on your thoughts in my journalism. This is what online journalism is about!
So keep blogging!
