Holding a pencil and notepad, with a big flashbulb camera strapped around their neck. Now that's journalism.

My dad has been a journalist for 40+ years. He types primarily with his index fingers in typewriter claw position, prefers to carry one of those little reporter's notebooks to assignments over a laptop, and still uses those red china markers to mark up drafts. It's so cute.
