  As someone who lived the Tunisian revolution, I'll give you my advice. It's very unlikely that you can cover all the news by your own. I'll guess that you are going to Egypt, it's very big and you can't be where the news is. Another thing to remember is that you don't have enough courage to get yourself in danger. I would advice that you get some cheap cameras ($100) and know people that you can trust and can bring the news for you. There are also people that bring videos and photos to Facebook, it would help you more to know them and figure out if you can trust what they bring. They can bring lot more information than you can. Some citizens in South Tunisia helped French journalists break security checking (through other secret roads) so they had special coverage for the events. That's unique and amazing. You'd better find such companions and I'm sure they'll be happy to help you. Good luck.
