12-09-2009 - For What It's Worth |
| December 8,2009 - Open letter to friends and fellows who are not journalists:
by Antonia Koop, International Coordinator, PECOJON
30 Journalists died in an ambush on November 23,2009 in Maguindanao, Central Mindanao, Philippines, along with 27 other people who joined the family of a local politician for the filing of candidacy for the upcoming 2010 elections. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) qualified the incident as the worst attack on journalists recorded so far in journalism history. The event has come to be known as the Ampatuan or Maguindanao Massacre.
The brutal and brazen attack once more raises the most crucial questions we as journalists have to face: Is there any story worth dying for?
And for what do we journalists risk our lives?
