Madowo’s courage is a representation of what many journalists are willing to do to grasp stories.

While Larry’s case may be brave, other braver journos have dared what many would not to get stories to their viewers

In 2007 during his time at CNN, Jeff Koinange reported from a deep rebel zone in Niger Delta where he was sorrounded by rebels armed to the teeth.
