Maybe she simply cared in a self-protective way. Doing something on impulse, ... well, it can work, but there are a lot of examples that say, 'Better to leave well alone and do what you can as a reporter.' You do get into situations where you think, 'What should I do Shouldn't I intervene Shouldn't I do something' I think if you get to that point you have to make a decision.

No good standing around snapping a notebook.

It reaches back to early Christianity and the middle ages. Where a child was born out of wedlock, the church cooked up the impression that you'd done something sinful, and something dreadful would result.
