My Take
Ann Curry earns my deep respect because she chose the hardest path in journalism: the war zones and disaster areas most reporters avoid. Over more than 45 years she reported from Kosovo, Iraq, Syria, Darfur, Congo, the Indian Ocean tsunami and the Haiti earthquake. To me that is not careerism but conviction, a willingness to stand where human suffering is rawest and bear witness. Born in Guam and educated at the University of Oregon, she represents the kind of reporter who treats empathy as a discipline. I find her body of work a quiet rebuke to studio commentary detached from the people it describes.
