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

1.09K 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?

Might be worth noting that both sides usually believe they’re the ones “in the right” and the idea is that it’s in everyone’s best interest to let the press be so each side has a chance to share their side and attempt to shift public sentiment. There are Nazis who legitimately believed that they were the good guys.

But beyond that, they do often get killed regardless.
