2024 was deadliest year for journalists with 124 reporters killed, Committee to Protect Journalists says

A record number of journalists were killed in 2024, the Committee to Protect Journalists said in a report released Wednesday. 

At least 124 journalists and media workers were killed worldwide, and about two-thirds of them were Palestinians who were killed by Israel during its war against Hamas in Gaza, the CPJ said. 

The previous record was 113 journalists killed, in 2007, during the Iraq War.
