All too often, it takes a searing, unthinkable image to make the public aware of the dangers a unique breed of journalists face daily. On Aug. 19, one hit particularly close to home: the brutal murder of freelance photographer Jim Foley in Syria at the hands of ISIS, after being held captive for nearly two years. Jim’s work, like that of his colleagues’, appeared across the globe, as photos, videos or dispatches, describing the horrors of combat, the broken lives of civilians, the legacy of political decisions made far away. It’s crucial work, and, now more than ever, life-threatening. This video tribute was produced by Matthew Geer, and shown at the Online Journalism Awards banquet in Chicago, on Sept. 27, 2014.
