David Jimenez and Ramon Lobo, is the story or life? Want to be

By Pilar Portero and Ana R. Canil

David Jimenez is in Japan, is a correspondent for The World and an excellent journalist. Ramon Lobo is in Madrid in the drafting of the country, but he always prefers to be in the eye of the hurricane, and is one of the most respected war correspondents. We asked them both about fear, danger and calling to inform life as you play in matters as disparate as war or a leak of radioactivity. David has responded by mail and telephone Ramón. These are his reflections. Just like that. Unfragmented worth reading.
And thank you very much to both of us closer to the truth despite the risk.

"Unconsciously I minded to downgrade my perception of danger and justify that I can still continue to cover information"

Hello, sorry it takes to respond. Many logistical problems here. I'm actually writing something about the flight of the special envoys to the web. Most have marchado.Yo I think the key is the incerditumbre. Some journalists are more afraid something they can not see, such as radiation, that the face of conflict, where you are a bit more in control of the situation. Personally, to leave me a hard time in one place while still important to cover what happens, especially in a crisis of the importance of living Japan. I guess subconsciously I minded to downgrade my perception of danger and justify that I can still continue to cover information. This is not to madness and, eventually, would have no problem in leaving, but I think it should be the last option, when the risk outweighs what you're willing to assume. It is said that a correspondent dead can not send your story to the newspaper and not me who put it in doubt.
Hope this helps, I can not extend because I have a lot of trouble. David

"For a paragraph is bullshit you play it for a good story worth more "

are not really aware of the danger, if you were you'd go. In the year 93 in Mostar during the war in Sarajevo, in the English zone was only one hotel, where we were Javier Espinosa, Fernando Mugica, Miguel Gil and myself. There were four mercenaries with a coffee and got to talk to them. They stood up all but one French sniper who stayed. A few days later I met him and he said he had seen my friends. "Would you have welcomed?" I asked. "Not because I have seen through the peephole but they were friends I have not shot." Then you realize that your life depends on details sometimes you never think. When you kill friends and Miguel Gil (in an ambush in Sierra Leone in 2000) and Julio Fuentes in 2001 in Afghanistan, or Ricardo Ortega in 2004, are aware of the danger.

But almost 99% of the time you are aware ever. Only experience allows you to distinguish a paragraph of a story: a paragraph is bullshit you play it for a good story more worthwhile. And there's always a way to make it less difficult. Not everything is as dangerous as seen on the news. You have good information on where you are, know what streets you go, take appropriate action and knowing how to measure. The downside is that there is often great information. Then it works good luck. Gervasio Sanchez has a phrase "It protects a star to shutdown" . You can work out things.

I have not been in earthquakes, only in the post earthquake of Haiti. I stayed in a hotel that had underpinned the main part and had to go out. Calculate how long it would take to leave the hotel in case of another earthquake and saw that it was impossible to leave the area braced. It also develops much black humor.

With Japan see mass hysteria, nuclear sounds bad. The greatest danger is in Fukushima, for the 50 engineers who have stayed. How normal is that governments do not tell the whole truth, it creates a distrust that causes fear. In Japan's case the threat is more diffuse. In a war you see and hear gunshots, you turn a corner and bump into the people running in the opposite direction, double the next and you're alone. The danger is visible and that makes you better control fear. Regarding

go or stay. If you are a war correspondent is to find the formula to stay alive on the site. If there is a shot and you go there would be no war reporting. You have to find a way to be sure. Sometimes you push the pressure, you create a medium yourself, to come very quickly to sites. You have to stop and think, two or three hours, what you need before you decide.
