Courting Death in defence of their duty

Below (In Red) is a report by the International Federation of Journalists which does show how dangerous the profession remains for those looking for News to serve the society. Surely, many parts of this world still remain a dangerous place for men moving around with Comps and Cams.

The Report:
At least 134 reporters were murdered last year, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) says. The majority of casualties occurred in Iraq, the organization's report shows.

Middle East remains the most dangerous region for journalist to work in, with a death toll of 68, followed by Somalia where eight reporters died. Pakistan, Mexico and Sri Lanka are also in the list.

ICJ president Jim Boumelha said that violence against journalists, who are targeted while performing their duties in dangerous places, remains high. In addition to the 134 reporters who were killed while working, a further 37 died in accidents.

Hopefully, 2008 will be different, saving Journos from blood suckers still ruling some parts of this world.
