Artist's Comments

As my editor asked, an illustration of a journalist in a moral dilemma: should he publish the article about three kids forced to work by their father? The father also works but his salary isn't enough to keep his family, that also includes his two daughters. The journalist knows that the authorities will take actions on the subject as soon as it gets published, and perhaps this will destroy the family...
The kind of crap that happens everyday, everywhere.

This piece is equally touching, to me as a budding journalist, and of high quality artistically. Keep up the amazing work- I'm disgusted that this doesn't have any other comments on it. :+fav:

thanks for the comment and the fav too! Journalists will only feel troubled as long as they care about the people in the news they write... the moment I feel they stop caring at all will be the time I'll stop reading news at all... Glad to know there are pros like you still around!

I'm a high school student, planning to go into journalism. Our teacher, a journalist herself, tried to give us examples of dilemmas journalists have. Yours was a good example, that explained it better to me. Thank you.

Wonderful picture by the way.

Great job - I love the atmosphere of the picture.
Thanks for posting this - it means a lot, as I'm majoring in journalism. A lot of us are confronted daily by such issues.
