Just because you are a journalist doesn’t mean you have to be inhumane and standoffish. I think it is a beautiful thing that you offered a helping hand, it gives me hope!

You are helping by bringing awareness to us here in the US. It is a great work that you as a journalist are doing. Be sure to write with the passion that you find in helping these people

I was just watching Sara Sidner’s report from Bihar, India and I am furious that she and her camera crew would even consider taking up space on an army rescue boat that had limited space for rescued citizens, leaving many behind to only hope for rescue before it is too late. I fervently hope that she merely stood on the boat to make the report and then got off so that others could get on. In either case, the manner of her report could only leave one to wonder. In my opinion, the story she presented, while very compelling, was not very well thought out in her physical approach to bringing the story.

I think it’s great that you’re helping. Children are beautiful beings, totally pure and innocent. Why not save them? God bless you….

Way to go Sara…get involved, do what you can…..report humanly and honestly….it’s all any reader wants…Good Luck

You equivation shows not only have a heart, but that you also know the importance of reporting a human crisis in a very human way.

I agree. You made yourself sound as if you did your good deed for the day. The only reason you helped is because a baby was placed in your hands. It was obvious the soldier cared less about you covering the flood and more about you helping. There are three types of people in this world, those who watch things happen, those who make things happen, and those who don’t know what just happened, You were there to watch/report but made to do. Sorry that was the case.

Good for you! You managed BOTH!

Congratulations on making a good decision. of your profession, your HUMANITY comes first. Don’t write a story and watch as your fellow human drowns.

Hi Sara,

I am from Patna (Bihar), currently living in Atlanta, Georgia. I really appreciate your in depth coverage of my home state. You are doing a great job.
When are you coming back to U.S? It will be a pleasure for me to meet a personality like you. Shoot me an email if possible.
Regards.

You did help. Next time, and every time, follow your gut feeling and you’ll have no regrets. As a former reporter, i’d suggest pitching in and when its over _ remember everything and write it down later.

Experiences like this shape a persons character for the future. In general I hope that it is clear to the public that yes some times we are angree or upset at journalistes, but we also have to understand that many journalists experience things which other “normal” people who do not even leave the own state will never experience.
I am certain the images you will take or already have taken with your own eyes during this flood crises will be with you for ever. Just know, which I assume you do know already, you can not safe them all, you can not help all of them. You can only do your best and hope that others will follow your example.

Walk with your head high and be proud, since today you safed a life.

keep safe
