Takes a certain type of person Jan to risk it all for the scoop, uniquely strange human behaviour, cheers David

To be the first to break a story, reporters will break through any barrier to achieve their goal. They will risk everything to obtain a story, including breaking the law. Very well done, David.

I agree the scoop becomes an obsession, some reporters have indeed literally gone over the edge beyond the pale, to get a story, to the point of losing their freedom and life, Some say it's a sacrifice but I often wonder, cheers David
