I think Shurt means reported contemporaneously, as opposed to in a video published months (possibly over a year?) later. Considering that 8C is still perfectly newsworthy especially for a Brit, yet here's two which to my knowledge were completely unknown publicly till now. I don't think even Remus had these on climbing history until this vid!

In the meantime, freshly released video from last year.

Andy posted it a couple of days ago

In true Aiden style I'm not sure if some or all of these have been reported? Maybe they were done when he was there doing new midnight thing don't know. Great vid though

I have very fond memories of Cliff. He was a gentle soul. RIP Captain.

Kong Skull Island , gloriously silly entertainment. Don't expect to be intellectually challenged but it is fun to watch. I wouldn't have gone to a cinema to see it, but since it's on Netflix, it's worth watching.

That's sad news. A great character in the UK climbing scene during my formative years.People like him and Minksi were legends in the real sense of the word.

Opus a film showing Ryuchi Sakamoto playing the piano.
Certainly not to everyone's taste but I was transfixed.
Mistakes, rueful smiles and grimaces  all captured in b/w.
He died shortly after the film was completed.

I’ve met plenty of people who have actually done all that stuff, they probably have some issues as a result of their work but they just aren’t as you describe them, or as the film portrays them. It’s not as if we have no examples of journalists reporting on their own civil wars, people are doing that every day, stretching right back to the American Civil War which saw recognisably modern journalism. A lot of people manage to remain relatively clear eyed throughout that process.

I don’t think a lot of journalists who cover foreign conflict type stories believe countries break because of “the product of some imagined third world/racial depravity” because if they did, they’d be rubbish at their jobs.
