A total of 45 reporters and media workers have been killed doing their jobs over the last year
The IFJ said the numbers in 2021 confirm a trend showing that media staff are most often killed for exposing corruption, crime and abuse of power in their communities, cities and countries.
The figure tracked closely with a toll of 46 killings of journalists given two weeks ago by another media watchdog, Reporters Without Borders , which also noted 2021 as its lowest-ever toll since starting its tallies in 1995. The toll included nine in Afghanistan, the highest number suffered by a single country. Eight died in Mexico, four in India and three in Pakistan.
According to IFJ’s count, the Asia-Pacific region, which includes Afghanistan, was the deadliest, with 20 killings. Then came the Americas with 10, Africa with eight, Europe with six and the Middle East and Arab countries with one.
