A drink or two (or three, or four...) [Open RP]

a bar in London, evening

The bar was busy, the type of place Jorah hadn't frequented much in the last few years...but if he was going to get out of this slump, he needed to make new acquaintances, didn't he? And perhaps run into some old ones...

He made his way past a few customers and a barmaid before reaching the bar itself. 

"Glenlivet, neat," he told the bartender while striking a match to light the cigarette that dangled from his mouth.   Jorah took a drag, glancing around as he did so, eyes scanning the room with a reporter's curiosity.

War Correspondents - some history

To give us all (and particularly myself :P) some idea of what Jorah's going to be getting himself into and what the job looked like at the time, have some snippets of Wiki articles on the history of war correspondents.  I think it actually fits quite nicely in comparison to him being a knight-for-hire trying to regain his honor. 

Their jobs require war correspondents to deliberately go to the most conflict-ridden parts of the world. Once there they attempt to get close enough to the action to provide written accounts, photos, or film footage. Thus, being a war correspondent is often considered the most dangerous form of journalism. On the other hand, war coverage is also one of the most successful branches of journalism. Newspaper sales increase greatly in wartime and television news ratings go up. News organizations have sometimes been accused of militarism because of the advantages they gather from conflict. William Randolph Hearst is often said to have encouraged the Spanish-American War for this reason. (See Yellow journalism)

The First World War was the first modern mediated war in the sense that warfare becomes conflicts and controversies between parties who exchange information and arguments indirectly by the mass media and their special correspondents reporting from the front lines of warfare.
