Interactive map of journalists killed in the line of duty.
Journos get a bit of stick in the blogosphere sometimes, but it’s worth remembering that their job requires bravery. Especially in areas afflicted by authoritarian governments, corruption or civil disorder, they often risk their lives simply by doing their jobs. Graphic proof is available on this interactive map from MSN which shows where and when journalists have died in the line of duty. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, many of the casualties have been in Iraq and Afghanistan.
