I was going to post this separately, but it makes more sense to add onto this thread.

My advice is to just go do journalism. Fly to Japan right now and cover the anti war protests.

I love this advice. However, one issue I've had is the going to other countries part. I've been on regular trips when suddenly a wild protest appears — recently, Hong Kong. They're my favourite thing to photograph, but I'm always cautious if it's not in Canada, resulting in bad photos.

When you go to other countries, do you apply for a journalist visa or just enter with a regular tourist visa? Would you worry about shooting something for journalistic purposes if you're in a country on a tourist visa?

Not sure if you've seen this, but there are already some programs that generate brief articles, say for earthquake reports.
