If you were a journalist, would you accept work in a dangerous part of the world, knowing that you could die?

Question

watching television,I see journalists almost dieing every day in many parts of the world. Some like the thrill, others like to be the best, and if it were you, would you risk your life for it?

Answer 1

No, If I wanted to die I would join the army.

Answer 2

I think I would, mainly if it were to help people.  

Answer 3

I have an undergraduate degree in broadcast journalism and I was just thinking of Lisa Ling and the things she does for Oprah. There's no way I'd do some of the things she does or places she goes to. I might have considered war coverage back when I was just out of college, especially since I wanted to live overseas--but in Paris or London or Rome--and you can't get there until you've done your time in tough places, but I'm not sure I could do it even then. I don't think I was into it enough to actually risk my life for it.

Answer 4

I always say : it's better live for a day like a lion,that live for 1000 days like a sheep. But remember if you have a family don't accept the job
