What is courage? By definition, courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear. But in terms of photojournalism, I think courage is knowing when you pursue and risk it all and when to let the story tell itself. Because courage and foolery are only separated by a thin line of sanity. Photojournalists put their lives on the line in order to get a story and give people a voice. There are so many events that are so one-sided and photojournalists provide a rounded story. And courage is also the bravery to cover stories that will cause controversy and for some, hatred toward the reporter.
