It's Dangerous To Report The News (Even In The U.S.)

Posted on the 22 April 2019 by Jobsanger
The charts below are from Reporters Without Borders report at the end of 2018. They show that it's still dangerous to be a reporter on this planet. And that doesn't just mean in war-torn countries. The U.S. joined the list of dangerous countries with 6 journalists killed in 2018. Journalists are also subject to being jailed and taken hostage.
It's always been a dangerous job, but sadly, the current resident of the White House seems determined to make it even worse. His war on journalists, calling them the ?enemies of the people", is reprehensible. As the leader of a democracy he should be supporting journalists -- not attacking them -- because democracy depends on the free flow of information provided by the press.
