I know that attacking reporters is considered a war crime, and i have huge respect for those who do it to give the world an understanding of events, but it just seems insanely dangerous.
What are the steps taken to protect reporters in areas of conflict? Or do they primarily use footage taken from civilians in the areas and just speak over it from a safe location?

To add on to what has been said, many journalists with major orgs take “hazardous environment training” which can cover driving in a warzone, treating war injuries, how to survive a hostage situation, etc. The trainings as I’ve seen them start at 3,000 USD, at least in the US, so sadly many freelancers go without this important training.
