Journalists have often put themselves in danger to convey crucial information to the public. Many journalists have even died doing their jobs, investigating crimes or traveling to battle zones--and sometimes documenting events in their own communities. Recently, reporters have been assaulted, mocked and silenced, their reports dubbed ""fake news"" and them, ""enemies of the people."" A free press is one of the country''s most reliable foundations for ensuring a democracy for current and future generations. With a focus on American journalism, this book tackles issues affecting today''s news through profiling journalists killed on the job, whether from violent conspiracy, terrorism or mass shootings.
