The dangerous search for the truth
The work of a journalist is hard, 
often thankless and always dangerous. In 2011, 66 journalists were killed while on the job in Africa, the Middle-East, Asia, the Americas and Europe.
In 2011, 1044 journalists were arrested, nearly double that of the 535 arrested in 2010.
The most dangerous of these places is Pakistan. Ten Journalists were killed in that country alone last year, making it the most dangerous country for a journalist to work in. The Middle-East is also especially dangerous to work in, as 20 journalists were killed during the Arab Spring uprising.

First Steps to Becoming a Motoring Journalist
This is a guest post by Helen Pritchard.
Breaking into the world of motoring 
journalism may seem a difficult task but if you approach it in the correct way and with a determination to succeed, you too can be writing for your favourite motoring publication. If you’ve just finished your studies or if you’re considering a change of career, motoring journalism can be a rewarding path that is accessible to anyone with a skill for writing and a passion for cars.
Writing to the major motoring publications in the first instance is likely to prove fruitless if you don’t have any experience, so motoring journalism, as with all careers of this kind will require you to start at the bottom and work your way up.
