One journalist was killed every four days in 2022-2023, a new report by the UN’s cultural body says. The majority of the crimes went unpunished.
Killings of journalists across the world rose 38% in 2022-2023 compared with the two previous years, with 162 verified deaths, according to a new report by UNESCO released on Saturday.
“In 2022 and 2023, a journalist was killed every four days simply for doing their vital job to pursue truth,” UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said in a statement.
