The Deadliest Countries For Journalists In 2018 [Infographic]
Dec 19, 2018, 08:07am

Following on from its recent ranking of the countries imprisoning the most journalists in 2018, The Committee To Protect Journalists, an advocacy group, has now reported that 53 journalists are known to have been killed around the world so far this year. At least 34 of them were singled out for murder. The CPJ tracks three types of journalists' deaths on the job - reprisal murders, deaths in combat or crossfire and deaths on other dangerous assignments like covering protests that turn violent. 2018 marks an uptick in killings after two years of decline while the number of media workers imprisoned has remained at a sustained high amid a global crackdown on press freedom.

The most high-profile killing this year was undoubtedly the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October. The brutal killing caused a wave of uproar in the west and fueled a major political crisis between the Saudis and the wider international community. Meanwhile the war in Afghanistan has continued to rage and it remains the most dangerous country for journalists. So far this year, 13 journalists have been killed there, the highest number in any year, including 2001, since CPJ started keeping track.

Afghanistan has suffered a spate of deadly bombings this year. In many cases, extremists detonated a second device with the intention of killing first responders and journalists. One such incident in late April has been attributed to the Islamic State and resulted in the deaths of nine journalists. Other countries ravaged by conflict are still experiencing high death tolls and nine journalists have died in Syria this year while three deaths were recorded in Yemen. Four journalists also died on the job in the United States this year, including independent music video blogger Zachary Stoner who was shot in Chicago in June.

China doesn’t have journalists, only Parrots trained by the CPC.
The Chinese should be the last ones to worry about the safety of Journalists...

We don't have freedom to kill journalists, lynching and honor killing is your culture, not ours.

Only Indians are so dumb to believe that, everyone has a cellphone and anything happens in China would be reported by someone near it in a second on social media, no one can hide anything now at this time, get with time.

Good job! india is already #1 dangerous place for women and am confident that she will soon achieve #1 place for sodomy, beastiality and pedophilia as well. once again, congrats!!!

True for Indians. The whole nation is turned into parrots by Indian media on the behest of NaMo "The Terrorist".

And deleted just as quickly by a government that literally controls the media and has the overarching right to take down any content it deems unsuitable to its interests.
I don’t have to be Indian to notice that. That’s general information. Even CPC won’t deny this.
Not sure what you’re even defending here.

I’m sure you’ll be moving to India as soon as possible to get us those #1 spots. Don’t think India can get there without your special skills in these matters.
Your interest in these rankings is particularly disturbing to say the least.

Ok so how would India then be dangerous for journalists if the media parrots the Govts line?
Make some sense

Some of them can be deleted but not before they've already reached millions, besides, India now tries to learn from China on this monitoring system cause uncontrolled social media wreaks havoc in India, many were lynched and killed caused by false information. This thread is about killing of journalists, in this regard,India is a strong contender for the world championship.

@beijingwalker you also must be a paid clown of CPC along with other stooges here on PDF.

LOL, Who pays me and how much? by the way. I don't accept Indian roupees

But that’s the whole point. If there were more journalists being killed in China compared to some of these countries on the list, who would actually report it if all information reaching the local and going outside of the country is controlled by the Govt?
Which is why, it’s rich getting preached by you ( a Chinese national) about safety of journalists.
Don’t take it personally, it’s just no one believes the testimony of a thief. It’s human nature.

 

[beijingwalker]

How would you know? There are no journalists to report even if it did..

So Afghanistan and Syria must be the top two for press freedom, and, Norway, since it ranks the safest for journalism, must be the least free press in the world..what an Indian logic..

As I mentioned, social media will report it and millions will know right after it happens, that's why China has so many so called "dissidents", they are reporting against the government everyday, through their social media accounts.
