Nice work. Have you seen anyone do anything on what appears to be an escalation in the violence targeting journalists? I know journalists are often uncomfortable pointing the lens at themselves, but it seems to me that this is something that should be discussed. Journalism, especially in war zones, has always carried very heavy risks, with reporters and their support crews putting themselves in harms way to tell a story and becoming unfortunate victims – but by and large it always seemed as though there was a global recognition that journalists were not themselves targets. Perhaps what I see is anecdotal, but in the last decade it has felt to me as though this has fundamentally changed. Thanks for that Nithin. Nice work.
