The Moved and Shaken
I had the opportunity to attend an event this evening and John Quinones of ABC News was the keynote speaker. John's latest news show "What Would You Do?" is an ethical test for the common American. John's show has had an impact on us. Fans of the show helped a sometimes homeless woman, Linda Hamilton, get back on her feet after America witnessed her willingness to help a man when others simply passed over him.
John Quinones has an interesting story and his journalism is "shedding light on the dark corners of the world," as he so eloquently stated.
In addition to his well delivered speech and interesting work, I wrote this blog post to capture a quote John recounted from a phone call he had with the late news anchor Peter Jennings. During the call Jennings mentored a frustrated and young Quinones by saying, "It's not the movers and shakers we need to hear from. It's the moved and shaken." I want to remember that.
