Time to re-think journalism.

You are right, of course, but for different reasons.
Print journalism is dying in the digital atmosphere.
Hard to sell subscriptions to the Daily Bugle when free news is available 24/7 on the internet.
And that news is not very well produced.
AI algorthyms make awful reading styles( think of your high school paper)
And Editors are a rarity.
The plethora of podcasts, digital news networks, and biased news sites has led to a loss of confidence by the viewers and revenue by would be sponsors.
The FCC did not help by outlawing joint ownership of a newspaper  and  a TV station in the same market.
Of course the socialists are clamoring for government subsidies to journalism overlooking that Congress is rated even lower than the news media.

It is a mess with no apparent solution.

You are not wrong, but bambu is arguing journalists should be cowering at home rather than taking a risk covering important stories. I agree modern communication techniques are altering journalism, but "only cover what is safe" is not an answer.

A coward, unable to understand courage, pivots artlessly to a rhapsody on weapons that terrorize, excite and upset him. Fully armed he would be the exact type of timid twitchy lunatic likely to cause the most harm.

lol
Quite the opposite.
But, I would not be hacked up with a machete, stabbed 5 times with a knife, or bashed with a jemmy bar like the unfortunate elderly men shown on my tv recently, living in towns Alice Springs and Moree.

I didn't say that.
I just don't think they should be in harm's way so I can see pictures of the latest atrocity in Russia, China etc.
Surely there are Russian news agencies releasing pictures.

Courage and dedication can be overrated.

Exactly.

Be cautious with your courage, or you could wind up being used as 'cannon fodder' or rotting in a Russian, Chinese etc prison.

Be cautious with your dedication, or you could find yourself working back until 11pm while other staff went home at 5pm.
Or working very hard, finishing your work by lunchtime, then being loaded up with half some slacker's work...permanently.

No Russian agencies releasing official videos etc?
So western journalists decide it's a good idea to go into commie Russia and snoop around taking their own...then wonder why they get arrested and tossed in prison.
No degree from Harvard needed for this one either.

Dumb people think they can go into communist etc countries and do just as they please without consequences.
Not even HS educated bambu is that foolish.

  SkyNews:
"UK High Court to rule on Julian Assange extradition".

Julian "the People have a right to know, everything" Assange...another one who didn't understand (that if you go messing around with the ways of countries you can find yourself in big trouble.

Thank God journalists have balls you lack.

Pretty sure Gershcovich knew the risks. And unlike you, was brave enough to do an important job despite the risks. You stupid quivering coward.

I am reminded of a scene in Ninotchka in which the guy tries to get her to laugh with this joke:

A man enters a restaurant and asks the waiter to bring him a cup of coffee without cream. The waiter walks off then comes back a few minutes later and says, I am sorry sir but we are out of cream. Can I bring you a cup of coffee without milk?

I notice it's not you and your 'bravery' doing the 'important job' and rotting in a Russian prison.
So, you're exactly the same as I am.
Exactly.
