Just watched the most hard-hitting documentary I've seen in recent times courtesy of Aljazeera English's presence on Youtube.
The documentary looks at the incredible bravery of journalists on the ground in the world's hot-spots striving to bring images to our screens. It also explores the trend that it is becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous to report from frontlines as the press no longer enjoys the immunity it once did. Apparently the conflict in the Balkans marked a turning point with the active targeting of journalists. Reporting from Iraq, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and Palestine are all explored.
More than 100 journalists and cameramen have died in action in the last 18 months!
