A Serbian journalist has claimed she’s been threatened for revealing her information about die-hard soccer fans in Serbia. It was originally reported to the Associated Press, and the threats seem to be related to a recent documentary she has completed.
This is an example of a journalist doing her job, and revealing dangerous people in order to help the public and make people aware of illegal activities. The police is trying to keep her safe, but who’s to say something won’t happen, since it seems they can not control these extremists.
This woman has done what all journalists originally set out to do, and end up losing track of; She has gone out and gotten an important story, done her research and exposed who deserved it.
This is not to discourage journalists, this is to encourage actually. Whoever becomes exposed in a story fears the journalist because they are right and they have found good information. This means the journalist did their job. But at what point should this government realize that it doesn’t help the growth of their country to allow extremists to control and manipulate the law?
