RSF: Journalist Deaths are Down, But the Reasons Aren't All Good
Outlet closures and censorship may have contributed.
In its annual report released this month, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) put the number of journalist deaths connected to their work as journalists at 74. The count differs from CPJ’s report, also released this month, the result of differing methodologies. If you add CPJ’s tally of deaths resulting from unconfirmed motives to its count, the figures are almost identical.
While the numbers differed, both organizations noted a drop in deaths, and both organizations indicated that the drop was not representative, necessarily, of positive developments.
