The latest CPJ data shows that 91 journalists and media workers were killed in 2024, down from 98 the previous year, with the Israel-Gaza war responsible for more than half of the fatalities.
The latest 2024 data from a leading organization that promotes press freedom highlights the severe dangers facing journalists around the world, in particular, from the hazards of the Israel-Gaza war.
In Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, 59 journalists and media workers were killed, and two went missing in 2024 – by far the highest tally of any conflict anywhere in the world.
So far this year, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) says 91 journalists and media workers have been killed worldwide, with 67 unaccounted for – last year 98 journalists were killed.
The data shows only confirmed accounts, with actual figures likely to be higher.
