Threats to journalists carry many different lessons, but one is
constant: People who would intimidate or kill journalists are
usually terrified that someone might find out. Journalists who want
to protect one another need do nothing more than what should come
naturally to them: report on threats to journalists--big threats
and small threats, whether they are directed against the
international luminaries of the profession or small timers.
Non-journalists can also play a big part in the fight to protect
journalists. Next to tough and timely reporting that establishes
the facts of a case, nothing protects a journalist so much as
public outrage and public support. Ordinary citizens can play an
enormous role by pressuring thugs and tyrants who would like to
stifle the freedom of the press. The freedom of journalists is
consequently the bedrock of freedom for all people.
