Photojournalist:
Camera:
Recording media for camera: (for the geeks out there, it's called P2, and is based on the PCMCIA architecture)
Tripod (fluid-filled head, carbon fiber legs)
Satellite Truck (for long-distance live work) (trivia: you can always tell if it's a satellite live shot because there will be a lengthy pause between the anchor's question and the reporter's answer - - time for the signal to travel up to the satellite and back)
Microwave truck (for close-to-home liveshots)
Helicopter! (the big ball thing on the nose is a gyroscopically-stabilized camera. Some of them have infrared capabilities for night work)
Digital edit suite: (the one I wish I had)
And the most indispensable:
Leatherman Supertool 200
