Abstract
Material structures such as money, transport networks and technologies of safety are important constraints on the work of journalists, but a reasonably sophisticated understanding of how the practice of conflict reporting is structured by its material conditions requires us to go beyond rehashing existing knowledge of how little money, safety training and diplomatic support the modern journalist has. This chapter begins by outlining a critique of various strands of the commonly accepted story of reporting conflicts, including its problematic optimism towards technology, and the limitations of the ideal-typical conflict journalist in both the popular and academic imaginations.
