I think it's never safe, but one must follow his passion!

They say, through evidence, that Pakistan is the most dangerous country for journalists to work. Despite this huge hazard, the journalists continue to work. Any creative, writer-based passiion has to be backed up by a very personal "fascination to the extent of madness" with the profession. Thus, journalism will continue tto be unsafe - and I can ppredict acctuallly more unsafe - but the passiion in journalists would keep defying the inhosppitable forces despite repression, lack of freedom of expression and threats and dangers of personal safety. Viva journalism, viva truth seeker journalists!
