how are reporters at all safe in areas of conflict?

398 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?

They are not.

They’re pretty much just brave individuals that venture into conflict zones to cover the fighting with little more protection than a flack jacket with “PRESS” stencilled on and an armoured helmet and due the the ever changing situation on the ground often pay the ultimate price.

I believe there’s been around 20 journalists killed in the Ukrainian conflict and already reports of 3 killed in Gaza.
