For the fourth straight year, The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has ranked Syria as the most deadly country for journalists.
Overall this year, working conditions worsened. There were 69 journalists killed while working in 2015, compared to 61 last year. Of those deaths, 13 occurred in Syria. The runner-up was France, with nine deaths. That unusually high number was the result of the Al Qaeda-led attack on Paris newspaper Charlie Hebdo in January.
If 69 deaths worldwide seems low to you, that’s because it likely is.
