This semester we had 3 very interesting stories we saw.Read an article of Wickermantuge how he was killed because he was going to stick up for other journalists he even wrote his own Obituary and he refused to have body guards because he wanted to speak for everyone even the ones without a voice. You can find information like this on a helpful website CPJ http://cpj.org/ I highly recommend you check it out it has helpful information on Journalists all over the world who been either stuck in prison murdered or killed on the job. Then we have Daniel Pearl.American Journalist who was kidnapped by a bunch of Terrorists while him and his wife were in Pakistani a whole month no one could find him, the Terrorists showed pictures of keeping Daniel in a unsanitary room and they wanted their kind to be treated better and if imprisoned let them out.But then to find out they beheaded Daniel on video and showed it to everybody.In their way of saying "This is what we do to Journalists!" 

I found this horrible and heart breaking to think the world does these kinds of things to innocent Journalists? They don't deserve any of this!! I do wonder why do people do this? Or what is wrong with Journalists why do you guys hate them so much? Only because they want to spread the truth? Honestly if you can't handle the truth then grow up stop taking lives of innocent people just because you can't HANDLE the truth.It doesn't make you look tough but it does make you look weak.
