"These days, I mostly think of us a story catcher," says @JacquiB. "To have any value beyond our bylines, we have to tap into all of our resources, not just as journalists but as humans." #story19

.@JacquiB leaves us with 5 wisdoms:

1. The story is not about you, but you have to be fully present in the story.

2. If you are using "I", the "vertical pronoun", use it not as a wall between you, your story and your reader, but as a bridge.

3. All reporting is foreign reporting. You can’t presume you know the truth of someone else’s life.

4. Wherever you go, there you are.

5. Wherever you go, go with all your heart. (from Confucius)
