Journalism can be a very dangerous profession.
Many journalists risk death or injury everyday just to keep the public informed.
Many journalists have given their lives while in the pursuit of truth.
Perhaps it would be ideal if somebody or some organization
could setup some kind of fund specifically for the families and children of these fallen journalists?
Perhaps a foundation that could provide financial aid to the families of journalists
in the event they meet death or injury while doing their jobs?
Perhaps this hypothetical foundation might even be able to provide legal assistance
to families who are seeking justice from the parties, institutions, or individuals
who are responsible for any acts of atrocity committed against journalists
while in the line of duty?
Maybe some kind of Global Journalism Union even?
If there was some kind of union that members were paying into,
then perhaps a certain percentage of all dues paid
could go directly towards this memorial/justice fund
for these fallen or injured journalists?
Perhaps this foundation could even provide some kind of insurance plan
for journalists who are risking their lives to keep people informed?
