Journalists faced increased violence in 2020, with 65 media members worldwide killed on the job, 17 more than the previous year, according to a report by the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ).

Both reporters and media workers were victims of violence caused by organized crime groups, extremists and sectarian organizations, the IJF said in its Annual Report on Killings of Journalists and Media Staff. The report focuses on journalists killed by targeted attacks, bomb attacks and crossfire.

The group found that Mexico was the most dangerous country for journalists in 2020 based on total deaths, with 14 members of the media killed last year. Mexico has topped the list in four of the past five years.

That’s a weekend in Chicago. The Chicago all these “journalists” completely ignore.

[Repeal The 17th]

Define “journalist”.

Just 999,935 shot of the million necessary. People of the world need to free the news business from ginormous, multinational corporations.

Probably all because of the “armed Trump insurrection” because white supremacy.

When you pick a side, expect to be treated by the opposing side as an enemy. They can no longer credibly claim they’re just observers.

Why weren’t they in lockdown?

Honduras used to be high on the list. Then they ran out of journalists when they hauled ass to the US or stopped reporting on gangs.

Coming to the US soon enough.

Define “journalist”.

One who relieves him or herself in a "journal" and is surprised when it doesn't pass the smell test.

So, 65 Leftists posing as journalists were killed in 2020.

My question to journalist...what about Christians around the world and their murder? That is something these journalist don’t bother to report on but are worried about other journalist.
