The
Impact of Geography on Current Events
Every new journalist
is drilled by editors to include 5Ws and an H: Who, what, when,
where, why and how. When people understand where something is happening
and what that place is like, be that Fallujah or Falls Church, they
can understand a lot more about how and why it is happening. Geography
and GIS can explain that to their viewers and readers.
