Watchdog says 50 journalists killed in 2020, majority in countries not at war 2 minutes read By Maria D. Valderrama Paris, Dec 29 (efe-epa).- A total of 50 journalists were killed in connection with their work in 2020, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said Tuesday, warning that more media persons were being murdered in countries not at war. “More journalists are being killed in countries considered to be ‘at peace’,” RSF said in its annual report, highlighting such killings in Mexico, India, Pakistan, and the Philippines. In a worrying comparison, the nonprofit said 58 percent of media fatalities in 2016 took place in war zones. Now, only 32 percent of the fatalities are in war-torn countries such as Syria or Yemen or countries with low or medium-intensity conflicts such as Afghanistan and Iraq.
