How do war journalist manage to be in the middle of a conflict without being killed?

1.13K viewsOther

I watched Civil War yesterday and even though I generally knew what their job is I was surprised that they were actually in the very middle of the fighting, tagging right behind the soldiers and taking pictures. Why does either side of the conflict just lets them be, especially the side that might be ‘in the wrong’, knowing that they would report on their atrocities?

[They don’t](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Journalists_killed_while_covering_military_conflicts).

Journalists are unknowingly killed in combat, purposefully killed in combat and often executed extrajudicially.
