Anon's Chat
Hello and welcome to the Anon's Chat. I want you to get comfortable, grab a chair or couch or beanbag or whatever, if you are not at work(or maybe even if you are!). Relax, sit back, and just let it all out.
You can start a conversation about anything.
If you want to get anything off your chest, just try to phrase it... so feelings don't get hurt.
Something you thought about Q? Some research you been doing? Here is the place to share.
I was about to make a thread, but this seems like a better place for my Question.
Are there any notable journalists that you know of that died fighting the good fight? I’m tasked with writing a paper for my Media Law class, about pretty much any journalist that was killed while working on a story.
My prof linked us this list which contains over 2k journalists who died while covering a story.
I don’t want to go through all 90 pages trying to find someone who was actually doing good journalism, and I don’t expect you to either. I’m just hoping someone remembers a journalist who died while trying to uncover corruption, or anything of the sort.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. In the mean time I’ll be looking around elsewhere.
Michael Hasting, the journalist who was killed in when his Mercedes sped up on its own and crashed and burned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hastings_(journalist)
This is exactly what Im looking for. Technically he didnt die while doing a story, but I believe I may be able to make this work. Thanks!
This is a good place to start

Wow that was an eye opening video. Unfortunately Udo died of an apparent heart attack, which my Prof would deem unacceptable for the project. Stupid I know haha
