how are reporters at all safe in areas of conflict?

400 views

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?

Others have explained the danger, but you have to remember, terrorists and warlords like PR too, a good example is the attempted shoot down of flight OO-DLL in 2003 where the militants brought reporters along to watch and film them shooting down a civilian airplane. They hit the plane, badly damaging it, but it managed to land safely.
