I've been thinking a lot about the media business lately and I think you have the toughest job if you look at the media business

writ large publisher revenue generating like in terms of high stress, you know, the organization depends on

the stuff that you and your colleagues on the business side can create out a whole cloth.

Why don't you respect me more then?

I respect you already talking about.

Come on, I have huge respect for you.

You can't work with somebody for 20 some odd years

and not have huge respect for them.

But I bring this up in part because I think that there

are jobs on the journalism side, the news side, that are right up there in terms of stress and one of them is standing in a

scrum of photographers outside of a courthouse waiting for the person to come

out who you need to get one just one decent shot of one decent shot and like the

stress and there he is and it comes out and everybody's rushing over there to get him and I experienced this this past

week I usually don't experience this but I was at the sentencing for Chang-Peng

Jo better known as CZ the former CEO and the founder of Binance, which is the world's largest

cryptocurrency exchange. And of course, you know, we don't have a photographer and a reporter.

I was up in the courtroom, you can't take pictures in the courtroom, so like as soon as the sentencing reached a point where I didn't really need to be there anymore, most of the things had been settled, I raced downstairs and I waited, ran to my car actually grabbed my real camera waited.

John I shot I think maybe 50 frames when he came out just tjt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt

and I got one one usable shot and it was just by the grace of the journalism gods that I actually got a usable photo of this guy.

And it was like, I was thinking I don't think I could do this every day

this is just I this is just too stressful you should have done a sketch artist from inside the

was there one there was one there. Really? Yes. And in fact, King Five News used them. I'll link to their report from the show notes. But this was just a reminder of how difficult some of these jobs can be.
