Journalists do not just die — they are killed. The number of murdered journalists has risen again, due to the criminal practices of military groups — both regular and paramilitary — and organized crime. At least 53 of the 67 media professionals killed over the past year are victims of war or criminal networks.
Nearly half (43%) of the journalists slain in the past 12 months were killed in Gaza by Israeli armed forces. In Ukraine, the Russian army continues to target foreign and Ukrainian reporters. Sudan has also emerged as an exceptionally deadly war zone for news professionals.
