Journalism's Martyrs

Profiles of Reporters and Others Murdered in the Line of Duty. Tackles some of the most important issues affecting today's reporters and newsrooms by profiling journalists killed on the job, whether from violent conspiracy, terrorism or mass shootings. The profiles in this book contextualize the deaths of these journalists within an ever-evolving public perception of the Fourth Estate. Journalists have often put themselves in danger to convey crucial information to the public. Many journalists have even died doing their jobs, investigating crimes or traveling to battle zones—and sometimes documenting events in their own communities. Recently, reporters have been assaulted, mocked and silenced, their reports dubbed "fake news" and them, "enemies of the people." A free press is one of the country's most reliable foundations for ensuring a democracy for current and future generations.

With a focus on American journalism, this book tackles issues affecting today's news through profiling journalists killed on the job, whether from violent conspiracy, terrorism or mass shootings.
