Hey all out there in Feministing-land! I've been wanting to create a Community profile for awhile, but just hadn't gotten around to it. But I badly wanted to share this video with you all, so this finally got me to do it.
This is a video of a Georgian TV reporter being shot during live coverage of the war. After she is taken down by the bullet, she gets back up and keeps reporting. I can appreciate this both as a feminist, and also as a journalism student. This woman is my hero.

Holy crap! I think if that were me, I'd be in such shock I couldn't speak! That is one tough lady!
Damn! That's impressive.
I so could not do that. I'm the biggest wimp in the world about pain. Kudos to her, though!
ARGH! from the article:
"Bravely, or foolishly, the 32-year-old brunette continued her report after a few moments as other journalists and aid workers dashed for cover."
mmmhmm. if she was a man, they'd be all over how "heroic" it was to continue reporting. *and* they probably wouldn't mention the reporter's hair colour. sigh.
That woman is awesome. Props to her.
Wow. I mean, the fact that Tamara Urushadze kept reporting the same day is already impressive, but she also resumed her reporting before she got back up.
Awesome womyn!!!
