Real journalists will often put their reputations and lives on the line to expose corruption, the way the press is supposed to do.
In an eye-opening video, Silas Investigates 10 journalists who disappeared after chasing a singel story, each story seeking to expose corruption.
Cases covered: Michael Hastings, Alfredo Jiménez Mota, Daniel Pearl, María Esther Aguilar Cansimbe, Anna Politkovskaya, José Antonio García Apac, Veronica Guerin, Daphne Caruana Galizia, Ján Kuciak, Azory Gwanda.
Every journalist on this list saw the warning signs. Every one of them had a chance to walk away. And every one of them kept reporting until the people they were writing about decided the writing had to stop.
From a Rolling Stone reporter whose car exploded on a Los Angeles street at 4 AM, to a 25-year-old Mexican crime reporter who vanished after exposing police protecting drug traffickers, to a Maltese blogger killed by a car bomb 30 minutes after publishing her last sentence. Ten journalists. Ten investigations. Ten stories the world was never supposed to hear.
