Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian investigative journalist was killed on Saturday October 7, 2006 at her apartment block in Moscow. According to the CIJ (Centre For Investigative Journalism), she was a courageous and outspoken critic of President Putin and was renowned for her principled reporting on the Chechen conflict.
What is happening with our journalism world? How many more indispensable journalists are we going to lose? Although I love adventure, one thing I am sure of is that being a war correspondent is no longer an attractive job to me. Moreover, Reporters Without Borders annual roundup in 2006 counted on January 1, 63 journalists killed, more than 1300 attacked or threaten around the world. A worldwide total of 126 journalists imprisoned.
This doesn’t sound good, does it?
