I’d like to echo Clair’s sentiments in her blog entry. Like her, I’m in almost no danger in my line of work – unless you count the occassional paper cut or stapler stabbing.
When I was training, we had a series of lectures on the dangers of journalism (both mental and phyisical) but what has happened to Alan Johnston has really hit home. I never intended to do ‘front line’ journalism, but I have always had the upmost respect to those who put their lives (and their families lives) in danger to report back to shed some light on certain very dark situations.
If you have a blog, please go here and show your support.
