It has to be binary, no nuance? So you're against killing the press obviously, so let me ask you this: if he was providing information and physically helping the was effort by moving resources and planning, is it ok then? Does being in the press give you a pass to do anything and not be caught up in the war, or is there nuance and it isn't binary?
So what about taking pictures of troop movements for the press? That could aid the military. You can act as the press and get crucial information, even go behind enemy lines and get that info. Where do you draw the line? Could someone under label of press gather tons of intel then broadcast it as "news"?

It's been done throughout history, mistakenly and on purpose.
