Feature Magazine Article Pitch

For this magazine feature article, I would like to write about the profession of Journalism. I would mainly like to focus on investigative journalism, where many journalists have put their lives at risk. There are many ways in which journalists are threatened by powerful people to manipulate the information they aim to publish. In other countries such as Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba and Afghanistan, things are more critical in the media and journalism is no longer serving the citizens as it should be. Many journalists have been murdered and threatened, others have been tortured and kidnapped because they have published information that exposed powerful people including the government. In this article I would like to focus in countries such as the ones mentioned above where freedom of press has disappeared and where crimes against journalists go unpunished. I hope to speak to some journalist who can speak about their personal experiences.
