IFJ Report: More Than 100 Reporters, Media Workers Killed Last Year

By: The International Federation of Journalists says at least 109 reporters and media workers were killed last year while on assignment.

The press freedom group urges governments to "step up" efforts to stop the killing of journalists. The group says Iraq remains the most dangerous country to work in as a journalist, followed by Mexico and India.

Aidan White, general secretary of the IFJ, says another 10 media workers were killed in January this year. He says many democratic countries are "showing callous indifference" to the threats posed by attacks on journalists.

The IFJ presented its annual report on Wednesday. The group represents over 600,000 journalists in 123 countries.
