Daily PUMA Column - Commentary by Alessandro Machi

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

Egypt President Announcement - ABC News Reporter Christiane Amanpour shows why women don't get the credit that men do when in dangerous situations.



Christine Amanpour is backed against a wall by Mubarik supporters while reporting on the unrest in Egypt.



This ABC News Niteline Clip aired Tuesday Night, Feb. 1, 2011. By clicking on the arrow, watching the 30 second commercial, you can then highlight the timeline and advance the video to two specific timeline points.

The first timeline point is 2 minutes and 10 seconds, and the second timeline point is 6 minutes and 15 seconds.

At each of these two timeline points, see the dangerous situation that Amanpour was in, and see how gracefully Amanpour handled the situation. The result is, business as usual. If this had been a male reporter, is it possible that the confrontations might have been more physical, and that would have become part of the story?
