50 journalists killed in 2020 - Reporters Without Borders 30th Dec 2020 | Source: GNA The second part of the annual round-up of abusive treatment and violence against journalists published by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has indicated that a total of 50 journalists were killed worldwide in 2020. The report, which was made available to the Ghana News Agency by the RSF, noted that while the number of journalists killed in countries at war continued to fall, more were being murdered in countries, not at war. It said of the 50 journalists killed, two-thirds were in countries “at peace.” The report tallied 50 cases of journalists killed in connection with their work from 1st January to 15th December 2020, a number similar to 2019 when 53 journalists were killed, although fewer journalists had been in the field this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
