The world is an increasingly dangerous place for journalists. Each year, dozens are killed and thousands are imprisoned, attacked, or threatened. Digital technology enables governments and criminals to monitor journalists and intercept their communications. And today more freelancers than ever are reporting on the front lines of major stories—with most responsible for their own preparation, equipment, and care.
