I find it amazing the danger that these journalists in Mosul are putting themselves in just to get half a dozen photos, or a couple of minutes of video footage, or a few paragraphs.
I was following Quentin Sommerville as he was livetweeting the battle for Mosul a couple of months ago, and it was amazing to see him there right on the front line getting shot at.
I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who put themselves in harm's way for the good of the people while unarmed. Whether it's observers, journalists, or medics/doctors. It's a thankless task.

- Roritharr 9y agoThis was a stunning display of bravery. I just wonder what badass admins are keeping the internet connection up in such situations.
