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

1.12K 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?

Generation Kill on HBO follows a journalist as he joins a military recon unit during the start if the Iraqi war. The soldiers took steps to protect the journalist during fighting but despite their efforts he almost got killed a couple of times.

The series was based on a book by a journalist who was embedded with a unit in Iraq so I assume it is reasonably accurate.
