That all sounds a bit quantum to me.

Or is it that if there is no-one there to record it, the event didn't happen? Sadly that's impossible nowadays with them darned mobile phones.

Imagine a disaster that nobody knows about in a remote island. They will receive no relief shipments.

If a journalist reports on it, it is no longer in a state of 'not being know about', and will hopefully receive relief shipments. So the reporting by the journalist changes the state of the event.

Ah yes, Schrödinger's Journalist Experiment.

Similar to the: If a tree falls in the woods and nothing hears it, does it make a noise?
or:
If a husband says something and his wife isn't around, is he still wrong?

Real life example. Michael Buerk reporting the Ethiopian famine in 1980. He's a bit of a hero there apparently.
