2004 deadly for journalists
BRUSSELS — More than 100 journalists have been killed since January, making 2004 the deadliest year for journalists in a decade, an international media rights group said.
The slayings of three journalists in recent days in Ivory Coast, Nicaragua and the Philippines pushed the total this year to 101, the International Federation of Journalists said Friday.
The organization recorded 83 killings of media staff in 2003 and 70 in 2002. The deadliest year for journalists since the organization began compiling annual reports in 1988 was 1994, when 115 were killed, including 48 during the genocide in Rwanda.
