UNESCO: Six in Seven Journalist Murders Go Unpunished

Original: Africa: Six in Seven Journalist Murders Go Unpunished, Unesco Reports: [UN News] Global impunity for journalist killings

UNESCO reports that impunity for journalist killings worldwide has risen for the first time in more than a decade, with six out of seven murders of journalists going unpunished. In Africa, the figure is drawing particular concern from press freedom advocates. The report also flags the growing use of drones as an emerging threat to reporters working in conflict zones.

Why now: The new UNESCO finding that impunity for journalist killings is rising for the first time in over a decade has alarmed press freedom advocates.
