NESCO claims that during the last decade, at least 827 journalists have been killed. The worst hit areas were Arab States including Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya. Latin America is the next worst affected region. Unsurprisingly, most deaths 59 percent over the last two years of the 2006-2015 report happened in conflict zones. During that period, 78 of the 213 journalists killed (36.5 percent) were in Arab States. Perhaps most alarming was the increase in journalist deaths in Western Europe and North America, up from zero in 2014 to 11 last year. The report also showed that 2015 was one of the most deadliest years so far with 115 journalists killed. Local journalists are far more at risk than foreign journalists, accounting for 90 percent of the victims, but as conflicts around the world continue there was a huge spike in foreign journalist deaths in 2014 with 17 killed compared to an average of four in previous years.

Print media journalists were not the only targets. Last year also saw a massive increase in online journalists being killed, with 21 compared to two in 2014. Almost half of those were Syrian bloggers. The report also found that more than 10 times as many men are killed than women - 195 to 18 in 2014/15 - while television journalists have overtaken print hacks as the most vulnerable. The report also highlighted that death is not the only harm jour-
nalists are exposed to. “The extent of the risks faced by journalists is demonstrated by the 827 killings recorded by UNESCO over the course of ten years,” said the report. “To this, one needs to add the countless other violations endured by journalists, which include kidnappings, arbitrary detention, torture, intimidation and harassment, both offline and online, and seizure or destruction of material.” What is most shocking is that 7% of cases involving crimes against journalists are resolved and less that one crime out of 10 is ever fully investigated, despite many of the 39 countries named in the report showing a willingness to stop the murder of journalists.
