It's disgusting to go after journalists who do nothing but uncover the truth.

Stories like these might frighten journalist, leading us into a dystopian world of wars and lies.

I wouldn't mind doing this type of journalism if I was even remotely skilled at writing but the fact is they don't get paid nearly enough. This women was probably passionately pursuing her own journalistic ambitions with no payout other than the work itself. Then she was murdered for it.
