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?

Some of them *do* get killed. Remember Daniel Pearl, the guy who was beheaded in 2002 and the video of his execution broadcast all over the world? Journalist for the Wall Street Journal, but that’s just the most famous example.

Right now the average media/journalist death rate in Gaza is about two per week.
