Saul Hansell reports for the New York Times, Yahoo Hires Journalist to Report on Wars.
This changes everything. Hansell writes:
“Mr. Sites plans to travel largely by himself, although he will hire translators, drivers and security guards as needed. His carefully constructed travel ensemble includes a rolling suitcase filled with lightweight clothing treated with insect repellent, a sleeping bag and a custom backpack that contains an array of gadgets that would put James Bond to shame.
On his travels for Yahoo, he will carry a Canon digital still camera and three small video recorders, including one that fits on a headband.
“I’ve had to expose myself to open street fighting,” Mr. Sites said. “Moving around while looking through the viewfinder of a camera is difficult in those situations.”
He will also carry a small Apple PowerBook on which he can write as well as edit photos and video, and several satellite telephones to send his dispatches back to the Santa Monica office. And he will have solar panels to charge his equipment where electricity is scarce.”
