Editor: Executions Not Easy To Cover

Executions are not easy task for the media. But it's our responsibility and we take it seriously. Our own reporter, Idaho Press-Tribune's Nate Green, was one of the witnesses. We'll have stories online a bit later. We also had photographer Charlie Litchfield and reporter John Funk at the site. I appreciate the difficult assignment they had today/Vickie Schaffeld Holbrook, Idaho Press Tribune editor, via Facebook.

Question: Would you accept an assignment to cover an execution if you were a news reporter?
