The plight of BBC correspondant Alan Johnston has once again underlined the dangers of journalism.
Johnston, who was seized at gunpoint in Gaza on 12 March, is now believed to be dead.
It is the job of the journalist to hold a mirror up to the world and to show the public its reflection.
It is sad to think that innocents trying to do a job can be caught up in the very politics theyy are trying to portray.
Fingers crossed that Alan will return safely but his capture only re-iterates the implications of
being a foreign correspondent.
It is sad to think that some have to take their lives in their hands just to keep us informed.
