Great editorial! It takes a real whiner to  complain about a journalist willing to take small risks to  report an important story.  (I'm not referring to those adolescent  "storm chasers." )
But far more important is  your comment "In 2016, 115 reporters died around the world on their jobs. "  These international journalists who are willing to risk it all to bring the world's most terrible stories to the attention of us all are the most truly undervalued, unappreciated  and abused of all our professionals.  They're hated-- and too often killed-- by those who hate the truth.
And they've been doing a great job since the days of Donald C. Thompson in WWI.
