They don’t wear protections, they don’t carry guns, but they risk their lives to bring us the latest news about the war. I would consider call the journalist on Iraq the unsung heroes of this war. Since the war on Iraq, a number of 44 journalists and 17 technicians have been killed. They know already before getting there the critical risk they are going to be exposed. Threats like bombings, firing, kidnapping and suicide bombings make it one of the risky jobs in the world. Name like Paul Douglas, James brolan are some of the heroes who said before leaving to Irak “ After coming back from Iraq, I would live for my family every minute of my life”, 6 months after they were kidnapped and killed. But what make them go there knowing all risk and threats will be exposed?. Maybe they feel a strong love for their profession and want to make part of the story. They are a bunch of talented people who loves their work and determined to do the best despite of the danger it could treat. Perhaps this is a new generation of journalist who doesn’t care about Pulitzer or other awards but brings us the last minute from the other side of the war. Maybe they don’t get the celebrity fame but they work on shadows as the best journalist.
