This is a sculpture dedicates to the journalists who died when covering wars. It's installed in the flat roof of the BBC building, in London. Each night, it projects light in the memory of those dead journalists. Most of times we don't pay attention to those brave ones who are risking their lives to keep us informed, to those who think first in the rest, and then in theirselves, to those who give preference to their work more than to their own lives. And they deserve it, really.
In the last ten years, two war-reporters per week have died. Information is extremely important for democracies, and so does for people.
The crystal sculpture was designed by a Spanish artist, Jaume Plensa.
Esta escultura, que se halla en la azotea del edificio de la BBC en Londres, est� dedicada a todos los periodistas que mueren informando. Normalmente no se tiene demasiado en cuenta a aquellos que literalmente se juegan la vida por informar al resto. A aquellos que llevan la informaci�n a su m�s alto grado, a aquellos que anteponen su trabajo a su vida. Y realmente lo merecen, y mucho. En los �ltimos diez a�os, cada semana murieron dos periodistas de guerra. Es un esc�ndalo, pero los datos est�n ah�.
La escultura, hecha de cristal, es del artista espa�ol Jaume Plensa.
