Reportorial valor

We've posted before on IntJournGrrls, women honored for reporting news critical of those in power. Some risk much to do so; some, like Anna Politkovskaya and Veronica Guerin, have lost their lives in the line of journalistic duty.
Add to this list of women journalists Tamara Urushadze, shot by a sniper while reporting live from Gori, the Georgian city just south of South Ossetia to which Russian troops have advanced. As depicted in the video below, Thursday's grazing proved only a momentary deterrent: while others cared for her wound, Urushadze, a Georgian public television journalist, continued her live report.
