The journalist who provide the media

Eveyday a journalist risks his or her life trying to update the world on things happening around them. This is what drives them everyday, stories and the action. Sadly many journalist are kill in the line of duty, due to other poeple, who feel like they got in their business. Hundreds more beaten and put into prison. some examples:Egyptian blogger Karim Amer harassed in jail
In Afghanistan, at least 3 journalists still held captive
In Nigeria, 4 journalists receive death threats
Mexican journalists rescued in Oaxaca; one wounded
An organization called CPJ (Committee to Protect Journalists) support press freedom worldwide by defending the rights of journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. Thier goal is to encourage the growth of a civil society, which leads to stable, sustainable democracies and healthy social, political, and economic development. I feel that these people are doing the right thing for the journalist and the people of the world.
