At least 232 journalists have been killed amid the genocide, a new Costs of War report finds.
The paper: News Graveyards: How Dangers to War Reporters Endanger the World
If you find some more sources, I’d be interested
IFJ White Paper on Global Journalism which goes into detail about journalists killed from 1990-2020. From that data the amount of journalists killed per year in a conflict is still highest in Gaza, with the Iraq War coming very close in 2006 and 2007.
I can’t find detailed data about Journalists killed in older conflicts, if you find some please share
“Oh no number must be wrong it shouldnt be 100 it is 99”. Genocidal war crime colonial dont care about what the number means they focus more on whatever they can to discredit whatever happen taking the direction of the topic away from the fact that alot of journalist are targeted by Israel because of the coverage.
Yeah, hyperfocusing on the amount entirely misses the genocidal actions and intent. Even if the numbers weren’t accurate, that wouldn’t change anything (if anything, it’s a huge undercount)
This isn’t 99 vs 100 tires is orders of magnitude of. Israel shouldn’t be targeting journalists. But there are all sorts of people they shouldn’t be targeting. They’re bad enough when we tell the truth, let’s not lie.
What did I lie about?
