Overview
- First book to situate journalist deaths and dangers in historical and global contexts, especially in respect of the changing forms of societal violence and ‘uncivil’ societies around the world
- Addresses journalist insecurity and risks in relation to the changing industry, professional practices and technologies that inform dangerous reporting
- Provides first-hand accounts and reflections from the journalists and correspondents reporting from/in the world’s danger zones as well as from those charged with their duty of care
