Danger to journalists is growing worldwide, press freedom group says
WASHINGTON - Jamal Khashoggi was one among many.
The Saudi opinion writer's killing inside a diplomatic outpost may have been the year's highest-profile fatal attack on a journalist. But in a report released Tuesday, the press freedom group Reporters Without Borders cited the slayings of dozens of people working in the media worldwide in 2018.
The group said at least 63 professional journalists were killed around the world in 2018, a 15 percent increase from the previous year.
