In the first episode of our special 9 part-series on journalism during the Lebanese Civil War, we hear how Lebanese reporters and photographers suddenly found themselves covering a war, while gradually learning on the go and realizing how important their roles were in documenting what was happening.

When you find that picking up a camera instead of a gun, shooting, not bullets, but pictures, is what rescued you from the worst of war.

And yet, you find yourself drawn to the front lines, to talk to people, to record, to capture the story.

Your life is contingent on luck, hunches, leads, waiting at the right spot, sneaking into the right room, being at the right place at the right time, and not getting killed.

The picture is taken twice, when you click the button and when you develop the photograph. Sometimes you don’t recognize what you see, as the picture develops, have I ever seen this man before?

Do I know this person? The story, the photograph, without them there is no news. As much as the news depends on photographers and journalists, the warring parties and politicians depend on photographers and the press for their stories to be told, voices to be heard, messages to be received. In the end, what purposes does war journalism serve?

A source of income, provide a point of view, show a perspective, collect testimony, give evidence, change public opinion, send a message, stop a war?

If in the end you only end up perpetuating the images of violence?

لمّا تلاقي إنّو حَمْل الكاميرا بدل السلاح، واستبدال الرصاص بالصُّوَر، هو اللّي أنقذَك من أسوَأ مآسي الحرب، وبالرغم من هالشّي، في شي عم يشدّك لخطوط المواجهة، لتحكي مع الناس وتسجّل الأحداث وتوثّقها بكلّ تفاصيلها؛ حياتك بتصير مرهونة بالحظّ والحدس والأدلّة، والنَّطْرة بالمكان الصحيح، والتسلُّل للغرفة المناسبة، والتَّواجُد بالمكان المناسب بالوقت المناسب، وحِماية حالك من القتل.

الصورة بتتّاخد مرّتَيْن: أوّل مرّة مع فقسة الزرّ، وثاني مرّة مع تطوير الصورة. ببعض الأوقات، ما بتفهم اللّي عم تشوفو إنتَ وعم تاخد الصورة: هل شفت هيدا الشخص من قَبْل؟ هل أنا بعرف هيدا الشخص؟

من دون القصّة ومن دون الصورة، ما في أخبار. الأخبار بتعتمد على المصوّرين والصحفيين متلما الأحزاب والسياسيين بيعتمدوا على الصُّوَر والصحافة ليوصّلوا قصّتن وصَوْتُن ورِسالتن. بالنهاية، شو هيّ أهداف الصحافة الحربية: مصدر دخل؟ تقديم وجهة نظر؟ تسليط الضوّ على الأحداث من زاوية معيّنة؟ الإدلاء بشهادة؟ تقديم أدلّة؟ تغيير الرأي العام؟ توجيه رسالة؟ توقيف الحرب؟ شو هيّ الأهداف إذا كلّ يلّي عملتو بالنهاية هوّ تعميم صُوَر العنف؟
