Some journalists do a bit better than their job.

Ed Murrow telling America about the London Blitz.
That guy who repoted the famine in Ethiopia , and inspired Live Aid.
Brian Hanrahan in The Falklands.
Richard Dimbleby's report entering Belsen concentration camp.

You can sneer and downgrade everything in life. But I think such people, and folks even doing humbler tasks are worthy of the title professional.
