How is reporting different and why does it seem there are so few war reporters?

Answer 1

War correspondents write descriptions of the part of the war that they see. Unless they are exceptionally lucky, this isn’t likely to be the most important part of the battle. Where is also a significant risk or death or injury. That’s not a winning strategy, relative to sitting home with your spouse and family reporting on the local sports team.
