Condition : Very Good.

First Edition, Jacana, 2004 , Large-format Paperback - Biographical - 278pp. ISBN 9781919931951.
Journalists are human beings who see things through human-being eyes and bring to their news coverage feelings ... and experience from the rest of their human-being lives ... They flit across the globe covering all manner of news during which they are faced with a range of feelings, from horror to occasional joy. Usually left unexpressed, these feelings tend to emerge at unexpected ... times.
Thoughtful accounts, if they emerge at all, are told to other journalists, sometimes to therapists and even more rarely, in published memoirs. These ... moments and encounters hardly ever make it into reports, encouraged as journalists are to be 'neutral and objective' ... Believing that all journalists have something to write home about [the editors] wanted to create a space for these stories ... to honour our fallen friends and colleagues ...
Representing 25 countries, they have helped to create a mini-United Nations of writers, photographers, producers and camera operators. Drawing from their experiences in more than 40 countries, they write about the tragic, the sad, the poignant and sometimes the humorous.
