What Andy did was stupid. It shows lack of risk assessment.
How do you suggest journalists investigate criminal enterprises that use violence against their enemies? Should cartels and mobs just not be investigated because they're willing to use violence? What does that say about the usefulness of violence as a means of stifling criticism?
Use journalists who don't have faces that will be recognized.
Police don't send officers undercover if they have a face known to the people being investigated. That tends to get said cop dead. The same thing applies to Andy Ngo.
Tim talks about this in his Instagram rant on Andy, he quit doing in person reporting because his face was being recognized, and it became too dangerous.
Reporters can't file articles if they are dead or in the hospital with major injuries.
This is why news agencies have staff. He needs to hire "a guy" to infiltrate them or otherwise get up-close footage during riots if he wants to do that kind of reporting now.
