That is great news, not only that she will recover, but that she can return to the work she enjoys.

Brian Williams was live from Tel Aviv on Nightly News tonight, with other NBC reporters live in Haifa, etc. There was dramatic footage in a Richard Engle piece of a rocket heading in the direction of where they were doing their "standups," which was intercepted at the last moment and fell harmlessly into a field.
With all of the high profile and lesser known journalists killed in the conflicts in that part of the world you have to wonder about the wisdom of that kind of coverage -- but also pay tribute to the bravery of the reporters and crews standing in harms way.

In J school we had quite a few foreign correspondents come in to speak to us, and the message was always the same: it's an exciting job, but many times you're putting your life in danger. Because of the mentality of those correspondents (and the chiefs of the foreign bureaus), I think it would take heavier casualties to change the mindset.

We often forget about the crews...
I saw an old friend at lunch today who is a former ABC and CBS engineer and did freelance work for all of the networks in war zones for a number of years. He said that the day rates for the networks have skyrocketed, but less people want to go, and that he was, "too old for that crap."
I also read this morning that ABC is sending Charlie Gibson to anchor from Israel.
Finally, I heard an interview with an embedded reporter with a Marine unit in Iraq telling some really dramatic stories about the conditions our armed forces are living in in some areas of the country, and about being on patrol, turning a courner in their humvee and everybody on the block "vanishing" into buildings, etc. -- and knowing they were likely to get hit because the insurgents sometimes warn the locals when they have an ambush or an IED set up.
Pretty riviting stuff.
