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?

They don’t. Read [Requiem](https://www.setantabooks.com/en-us/products/requiem-by-the-photographers-who-died-in-vietnam-and-indochina-setanta-books) if you want to be crushed by sadness. The juxtaposition of a beautiful country and people captured for its wonder by the same people documenting the fighting in Indochina. :/ And people who had survived so much already. Robert Capa, Larry Burrows. 🙁 It’s dangerous as hell.
