Journalists who risk their lives in Iraq

A must-read feature on the Iraq war's "uniquely grim toll" on journalists by The Times's former Baghdad correspondent, Catherine Philp. It graphically illustrates the risks taken by all media workers covering a conflict where "trauma, kidnap and death" are accepted as part of the job. Yes, I know many thousands have died since 2003. But that does not invalidate the personal risks taken by journalists to try to tell the world what is happening.
