Journalism is a dangerous business when one’s "beat" is a warzone, a corrupt regime, or organized crime. In Reporting from the Danger Zone, Maria Armoudian reveals the complications facing frontline journalists who cover these hot spots, including how they find, access and deliver their stories while keeping themselves safe from harm.
Journalism is a dangerous business when one’s "beat" is a war zone. Armoudian reveals the complications facing frontline journalists who cover warzones, hot spots and other hazardous situations. It compares yesterday’s conflict journalism, which was fraught with its own dangers, with today’s even more perilous situations—in the face of shrinking journalism budgets, greater reliance on freelancers, tracking technologies, and increasingly hostile adversaries. It also contrasts the difficulties of foreign correspondents who navigate alien sources, languages and land, with domestically-situated correspondents who witness their own homelands being torn apart.
