Journalists' rights group counts 94 media workers killed worldwide, most at an alarming rate in Gaza

The Hindu  

A leading organisation representing journalists worldwide expressed deep concern Friday at the number of media professionals killed around the globe doing their jobs in 2023, with Israel's war with Hamas claiming more journalists than any conflict in over 30 years. In its annual count of media worker deaths, the International Federation of Journalists said 94 journalists had been killed so far this year and almost 400 others had been imprisoned. The group said 68 journalists had been killed covering the Israeli-Hamas war since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 — more than one a day and 72 per cent of all media deaths worldwide. “The war in Gaza has been more deadly for journalists than any single conflict since the IFJ began recording journalists killed in the line of duty in 1990,” the group said, adding that deaths have come at “a scale and pace of loss of media professionals' lives without precedent.” Ukraine also “remains a dangerous country for journalists” almost two years since Russia's invasion, the organisation said. It expressed concern that crimes against media workers are going unpunished and urged governments “to shed full light on these murders and to put in place measures to ensure the safety of journalists.” It noted a drop in the number of journalists killed in North and South America, from 29 last year to seven so far in 2023.
