On Journalist's Day, reporters around the world celebrate their profession's dedication and evolution. This year, organizers of the China International Import Expo honored journalists with a symbolic pin featuring the words \"Record the times.\"
The pin serves as a nostalgic reminder for veteran reporters like myself. Fifteen years ago, I embarked on my career as a community reporter for a local TV program. Back then, the giant shoulder-held cameras were the norm in news departments. They were hefty and cumbersome, making long reporting sessions a challenge.
Fast forward to today, and the landscape of journalism has transformed dramatically. The smaller, handle-attached cameras depicted on the pin have become increasingly popular. Not only are they more portable, but they also allow for greater flexibility and agility in the field. This evolution reflects the broader changes in media technology, enabling journalists to capture stories more efficiently and effectively.
Receiving this pin on Journalist's Day is more than just a gift; it's a testament to the resilience and adaptability of journalists worldwide. As we continue to \"record the times,\" we honor the past while embracing the future of storytelling.
