It was found that 50 media outlets in the world died in connection with the interview activities, and more than two-thirds were killed during interviews outside the conflict area.
This was revealed in a report released on the 29th by Reporters Without Borders, an international journalist group headquartered in Paris, France.
According to this, the number of media outlets who died in connection with the interview activity from January to 15th of this month has risen to 50 in the world, and despite the fact that the new coronavirus has reduced the chances of on-site coverage. However, the number of people who died was only slightly lower than last year's 53.
Reporters on the relationship between politicians and drug organizations found one after another in the bodies
Of these, 34 died outside the conflict area, accounting for more than two-thirds, and in Mexico, where the largest number of eight died, reporters who were interviewing the relationship between politicians and drug organizations were dead one after another. In India, where four people were found and killed, a reporter who criticized officials' corruption was lit at home and burned to death.
Is more than 80% intentionally killed?
In addition, 42 people, or 84% of the total, are believed to have been intentionally killed, a significant increase from 63% last year.
387 media outlets are still in custody, including 14 arrested for reports of the new coronavirus infection.
