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

1.10K 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 often do get killed. I used to work at Thomson Reuters and the building had a mini museum dedicated to journalism and books featuring the names of every journalist killed on duty since the company was started.
