According to Reporter Without Borders’ (RSF) annual round-up, a record number of journalists — 488, including 60 women — are currently detained worldwide, while another 65 are being held hostage. Meanwhile, the number of journalists killed in 2021 — 46 — is at its lowest in 20 years.
The number of journalists detained in connection with their work has never been this high since RSF began publishing its annual round-up in 1995. RSF logged a total of 488 journalists and media workers in prison in mid-December 2021, or 20% more than at the same time last year.
