NEW YORK -- Tim Hetherington didn't have to die in Libya.
It's that belief that has led Sebastian Junger, a close friend and colleague of the award-winning photojournalist, to launch Reporters Instructed In Saving Colleagues (RISC), an organization providing freelance journalists with emergency medical training.
Junger began thinking about RISC following Hetherington's funeral in London, where a combat medic told him that Hetherington -- who'd sustained a serious shrapnel wound -- may have reached a nearby Misrata hospital alive if someone, perhaps another journalist on the scene, had stopped the bleeding for 10 more minutes.
