Egypt's arrest and trial of three Al-Jazeera journalists, charged with assisting the Muslim Brotherhood, has prompted outcry around the world. The case helps highlight growing dangers to journalists worldwide, especially in countries caught in war or turmoil. In 2013, 119 members of the press died while on assignment. Alison Bethel McKenzie of the International Press Institute and David Rohde, a journalist for Reuters and a member of the Pulitzer Center's board of directors, join Jeffrey Brown of the PBS NewsHour to discuss the hazards.
