IMO, the issue with Mrs. Logan is not that she wasn't doing her job, but that she allowed her desire to get "inside" override logic and put herself in harm's way. With today's technology, she could have been in a safe place with a telescopic lens that would of allowed her to see a gnat a half mile away. Many other reporters were doing their stories from various points of safety and I don't think any less of them than I would of her.
Again, IMO, reporters, not just her, tend to put their safety aside at times to jockey the "best story and perspective" from certain events. I think they all, at times, put their safety aside in order to not only provide us with the news, but to get a better story than the "other guys", even at the risk of their own safety.
With that said, I think their desire for the story intentionally puts them in harm's way and they don't think about it until they find themselves on the wrong end of a bad situation.
