Ryan Teixeira's 'Journalists are Targets' is a great series of posters created for the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression that shows just how much danger a journalist on assignment can face.
Reporters go into the field with troops, braving hostile governments and people to report the news. Ryan Teixeira's 'Journalist are Targets' literally turns the press into shooting targets. I have a whole new appreciation for the work that reporters do after seeing Ryan Teixeira's 'Journalists are Targets.'
