Many of us have posted blogs about the lengths that journalists went to to capture the rebellion in Libya. On Wednesday, it finally took the biggest toll. Two journalists, including the director of the award winning documentary Restrepo, were killed, and two others were seriously injured in bombings by Quaddafi-loyal forces.
These killings again raise the question of how far is too far to cover a story? Although this is the first of the journalists killed in Libya, there have been close calls. Early on in the fighting bombs landed about 100 yards away from journalists and one intervened in an altercation, not to mention the fact that they have been on the front lines covering the story just so we could read about it in the paper or watch it on TV.
My condolences go out to the families.
