Guerin's death mobilizes journalists

Article Abstract:

The death of Veronica Guerin, an investigative reporter of 'The Sunday Independent,' has mobilized Irish journalists to examine the financial and physical protection accorded to freelance reporters. Guerin was shot dead in her car south of Dublin on June 26, 1996 while investigating the lives of Ireland's drug dealers. The Irish and British editors have decided to continue the investigations initiated by Guerin. A conference on investigative journalism in Ireland developed the 'Guerin Principles' to reaffirm the commitment of journalists to investigative reportage.
