PJ O'Rourke talked about these in his articles from Somalia; "Fixers" or what he called "Combat Accountants."
I don't know if it's always normal for them to be armed when they're out with them on a story, though.

Maybe CNN will take to arming thier journalists when they cover riots in America or enter into poorer/high crime neighborhoods. I wonder if their audience will be upset when they start shooting at American civilians and don't stick around to talk to the authorities.
