FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “The price of press freedom: Why are so many journalists paying with their lives?” – below is their description.
Killed in the line of duty is a phrase most associated with police officers or soldiers who lose their lives while confronting crime and injustice. This debate is asking why there are now so many journalists facing the same threat. A new tribunal has opened to investigate deaths of reporters: its initial targets are the governments of Mexico, Sri Lanka and Syria. The tip of the iceberg perhaps? This Tuesday is designated as the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists.
