I think JohnD has just found another source that he can quote from and repost for his social commentating.
69 Journalists killed in WW2
63 Journalists in the Vietnam war
90 Palestinian Journalists killed in the first 2 months of the Gaza war.
I think that’s the point the JohnD is trying to make.
Yes, Journalists and reporters do get killed in war, but what would be really interesting for JohnD to report on, particularly as he is into statistics and graphs etc is how many news agencies were hiring journalists in WW2 and the Vietnam war compared to the news channels and outlets there are now because, surprisingly (or not) each news source will need a journalist or two to carry out the reporting.
Excellent point.
In WW2, which lasted 6 years, there were an immense amount of reporters, reporting and media outlets reporting on the war.
How many journalists exactly? Of the names that began with just A, B, or C, there were about 25 journalists.
How many covered the Vietnam war, which lasted about 20 years, and again there were an unumerable number of journalists.
Now the currecnt Gaza conflict has lasted barely 3 months, and the journalists can't get into Gaza, so the number is limited to those who happened to live there, about 100 at a guess.
Now let's look at the casualties:
WW2 69 journalists killed, in 6 years with an immense amount of journailsts all over the world.
Vietnam War 63 journalists killed in 20 years, with the war coverd from all angles by journalists.
Gaza conflict 90 Journalists killed in just 3 months, with journalists prevented from reporting on the conflict.
You think there's a mistake somewhere? Ot is deliberately targetting journalists.
Like your specific targetting of questions.
