A photojournalist or war correspondent has to be selfless. If they bring their ego to the scene, they'll never get out there because they'll fear everything. They have to have compassion because of the images they see every day. But at the same time, they have to build a wall so that they can approach the scenes and photo them or get video footage so that it can be shared.

A photojournalist also needs a sense of adventure and the ability to not just step out their comfort zone, but leap out of it. A war correspondent isn't going to be able to capture the story unless they take risks.
