The story of a war correspondent

1. A war correspondent refers to a journalist who reports news in the war, also known as a "war correspondent", which is a professional division of labor among journalists. War correspondents also include writers, painters and photographers. The live news or witness news written by them according to their own personal experience and knowledge is the live report. The war correspondent first appeared in western countries, and was born in Europe at the beginning of the19th century. It appeared with the development of modern newspaper industry and military affairs. Today, war correspondents have a history of 200 years. War correspondents run through the whole history of modern journalism and the history of war in the past 200 years. The history of war correspondents is actually a unique news history and a unique war history. They are injured, kidnapped and even killed from time to time. When a war correspondent is kidnapped, the kidnapper usually pays a high price. When these requirements are not met, war correspondents are usually ripped off. "If you can't stop the war, tell the truth of the world war" is the eternal motto of war reporters. This is a group of people who often pass by death, and also a group of outsiders who have nothing to do with war. They are adventurous, impulsive, enthusiastic and responsible. Their job is to record the war with words, sounds or images before being killed by unpredictable shootings, bombs, missiles or mines, and truly convey the cruelty of war to the world. John, a photojournalist who died in the movie El Salvador under the gun of the American army? Casady is a typical war correspondent. He faced the guerrillas' guns and secretly pressed the shutter. When American helicopters started shooting at guerrillas and citizens, he jumped out of his hiding place and shot wildly until he was killed to the ground. El Salvador's intense lens combination and turbulent photography style outline the dangerous profession of war correspondent with thick lines, which has an emotional tension and excitement. 1854 In February, william howard russell, a reporter from the British Times, went on an expedition to Malta with the British army and became the first professional war correspondent in the world. With the development of high technology in the war, the battlefield environment has become more complicated and changeable, the combat rhythm has become faster and faster, and the range of weapons attacks has increased. However, countless facts have proved that journalists are increasingly becoming the targets of violent attacks in the war, and the dangers they encounter when covering the war in the battlefield are also increasing. In history, many war correspondents died in the war. During the Great Patriotic War of the former Soviet Union, 44 journalists of Izvestia died. 63 journalists were killed in the Vietnam War; Two years before the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the number of journalists who died in the Balkans reached 68. 1999 In the Kosovo war launched by NATO against Yugoslavia, there were no casualties among NATO troops. In Belgrade, more than 10 journalists from Yugoslavia were killed in the line of duty. In that war, China journalists were also on the "death list" for the first time. 2.
