Vienna: A total of 119
journalists have been killed while on assignment so far this year,
the Vienna-based International Press Institute (IPI) said.
This is the highest toll since 1997 when the IPI started keeping
track. In Syria alone, 36 journalists were killed this year,
Xinhua reported.
The press watchdog said it had observed an "alarming trend" of
journalists increasingly being targeted, often in order to
"prevent information disclosure".
After Syria, Somalia is also dangerous for journalists, the IPI
said, with 16 deaths in 2012, followed by Mexico, Pakistan, and
the Philippines.
