One hundred and twenty-two journalists and media workers, including 14 women, have been killed in 2024, according to the annual Killed List released by the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) on 31 December. The IFJ deplores 2024 as one of the deadliest years for journalists and reiterates its determination to see an International Convention for the Protection of Journalists adopted by the United Nations as a matter of urgency.
