War zones are dangerous, protests can be violent, also, natural disasters are difficult to cover, so there are going to be risks.

I keep telling myself to calm down, to take less of an interest in things and not to get so excited, but I still care a lot about liberty, freedom of speech and expression, and fairness in journalism.

In any war, there is a concealment of certain kinds of setbacks because it's propaganda for the enemy.
