The work of the journalism in some occasions is very dangerous, constant we see images of war or conflicts about the world and forget these persons who risk his lives to be kept informed, this post is alone to remember to excellentes journalists who have murdered in his work.

Yes, these things make you think a lot. Journalism is one of my passions (along with photography, but you can figure tat one out) and sometimes I like to think of what it would be like to be a photojournalist, when things like these happen I feel very angry.

The Japanese made his last picture while dying, what a strong urge to show the world he must have had.

According to the UNESCO in the last 10 years about 1200 journalists have been murdered. One every 3 days. This without keeping in mind the thousands that have been imprisoned or threatened. The price of the information is very expensive and paradoxically we don't receive that kind of information in all its magnitude.
A good page in wich we can collaborate requesting the liberation of some of them is Reporters Without Borders
