You've probably heard that the Republic of Georgia is not a fun place to be these days. Credit for your awareness of this sad conflict should go in part to reporters who are actually in Georgia filing stories about what's going down. Surprisingly, covering a fast-breaking military conflict in the Caucasus is not as easy an assignment as one might suspect, as evinced by the series of clips that follows showing reporters getting shot at and, in one instance, targeted by a fighter jet. No one was gravely injured in any of these clips, thankfully, but feel free to send to the next political reporter you hear going on about the grueling demands of covering a presidential race:
