2022 was a “deadly” year for the media with at least 67 journalists and media workers killed, according to a report published yesterday by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
This is the highest number of deaths since 2018, and a 50 percent increase from 2021. Of the 67, at least 41 were confirmed by CPJ to have been killed in “direct connection with their work”. More than half these deaths occurred in three countries – Ukraine (15), Mexico (13) and Haiti (7).
