I know press/reporters aren’t the direct targets of aggressors, and they don’t take up arms, but how do they manage to stay safe while reporting close to the front lines? Why wouldn’t the aggressors target them to reduce reporting of atrocities, if the aggressors are willing to kill anyways?
Edit: thanks for the responses, everyone. I wasn’t aware of how it really is.

They don’t always stay safe. Many of them have died over the years. Robert Capa, arguably the most famous war photojournalist of all time, took photos in a number of wars, including WW2 where he landed on Omaha Beach and took 11 very famous photos. He was killed while reporting on the First Indochina War.
If they’re like Bill O’Reilly they’ll not even be in the same country where the war is being fought and just pretend that they were. If they want the “good stuff” then they’ll be right in the thick of it and bullets, artillery shells, bombs, etc don’t care who they are.
