1158 MEDIA WORKERS KILLED IN TEN YEARS (2015 to 2024), 115 annually on average, 2,225 per week

LIST OF VICTIMS BELOW

NOTE: The PEC includes in its statistics murders among journalists, media employees, correspondents, freelances, cameramen, sound technicians, technicians, photographers, producers, media administrators. The figures do not register casualties among other media employees like guards, security staff, drivers. We do not include occasional media activists, bloggers, net-citizens. Sources are PEC members, news agencies, local media, national press associations, IFJ, Unesco, NGOs. The list of media workers’ casualties is updated on a monthly basis since the first session of the UN Human Rights Council June 2006.

We differentiate casualties between four categories: (T) for journalists intentionally targeted, (A) for journalists killed accidentally, i.e. in a terrorist blast or in cross-fire in fightings – private circumstances and road accidents are excluded – (C) for criminal causes (i.e. killed by drug traffickers) and (O) for other or unknown causes. The category changes when there are new findings.

PEC figures are higher than those of other organizations because the PEC considers all media workers killed, wether it is work-related or not. It is, in fact, difficult to determine the causes of death and to prove that a crime is related or not to the work of the journalist, for accounts can vary highly depending on the sources, in the absence of independent and full investigations.

We indicate for each case the name of the journalist, the media organization, the location of the murder, the country and the date. Editor in charge: Blaise Lempen (for remarks send an e-mail to: [email protected])
