At least 24 journalists were killed because of their coverage, and 18 others died in circumstances that make it too difficult to determine whether they were targeted because of their work, the CPJ said on Thursday in its annual survey on press freedom and attacks on the media.
According to a recent report released by the Committee to Protect Journalists, at least 42 journalists have been killed globally this year, as of Dec. 1, 2021. While the reasons for jailing reporters varies between countries, the record number reflects political upheaval around the world and a growing intolerance of independent reporting, according to the U.S.-based nonprofit."This is the sixth year in a row that CPJ has documented record numbers of journalists imprisoned around the world," said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon in a statement.
According to the latest report released by the Committee to Protect Journalists, a record 293 journalists remain imprisoned as of Dec. 1, 2021 – the highest ever since the organisation started tracking the imprisonment of journalists in 1992.
It is really getting worse I was in Afghanistan a few weeks ago and it was bad they had a fellow journalist captured we slept in dugouts every little noise was scarey and we had shotguns and pistols but working with the kids and parents made it so worth it
Attacks on journalists must be condemn. Governments play a role into releasing them from their captors. Field Journalists risks their lives
