Investigating the circumstances of these war-related deaths – which included three Lebanese and two Israeli journalists – was particularly challenging, not only because of the large number of killings in a short time, but also because many journalist victims’ families were killed along with them in Gaza and colleagues had died or fled.
“Journalists in Gaza are bearing witness on the frontlines,” said CPJ Chief Executive Officer Jodie Ginsberg. “The immense loss suffered by Palestinian journalists in this war will have long-term impacts for journalism not just in the Palestinian territories but for the region and beyond. Every journalist killed is a further blow to our understanding of the world.”
Once the deaths in Gaza, Israel, and Lebanon were excluded, the global number of 2023 journalist killings dropped markedly compared to 2022, but CPJ’s analysis of the data found that this was not an indication that journalism has become safer in other parts of the world.
