NINETY-FOUR journalists have been killed doing their jobs in 2023, a rise of nearly a third on last year and double the 2021 figure, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) said today.
Over 70 per cent have been killed during Israel’s war against Gaza, which has taken the lives of more journalists than any conflict for 30 years.
“The imperative for a new global standard for the protection of journalists and effective international enforcement has never been greater,” IFJ president Dominique Pradalie said.
