I would go for color. Usually with television news or even newspapers you want to use color because that is what the actual human eye sees, unless you are blind or colorblind. One of the golden rules to shooting pictures for news media is to keep your lens wide and move closer to the subject instead of zooming in, because the human eye cannot zoom in. Of course there are always exceptions.

Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with

the classic simplicity of black and white?
I'd go with color, cause black and white tends to raise scepticism on the shadowing. However with the new age technology and what not, color gives it a fifty/fifty chance. So I'd go with color, that way you can see the person you were taking the picture from....but that's just me 😐

Color. Black and white seems more dramatic and therefore fitting for somebody dying, but I'd never give that bastard the honor of having a beautiful, dramatic photo of the moment before his death.

Hmm... President nearly dies, but is saved by random passer-by. No matter how close he comes to death, he IS still in office. You can't simply decide you don't want him to be the President anymore, Ms. Random Passer-By. Valient, but unrealistic.
