Heedless of
Hello,
"Journalists had insisted on getting to the front line of the battle, heedless of the risks."
Does "heedless of" here imply that the journalists knew perfectly about the risks but ignored them, or that they underestimated them?
Thank you.

They knew about them and proceeded anyway. I don't know whether they knew "perfectly" about them, but there is no implication that they under-estimated them.
