On the other hand, Barker doesn't really propose any kind of solution that would prevent terrible things like what happened to Lara Logan from happening again. And un-feminist or not, is it ok for editors to decide to choose the reporter who is least likely to face personal danger for a particular assignment? Would we send an obviously Jewish reporter into a Palestinian village? Or a black journalist to report on a white supremacy group?DL Isenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514514858962707492noreply@blogger.com
