The above link is a story that was published by the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) recording the numbers of Journalist who died in the line of duty in 2019.

The IFJ listed 18 countries where journalist were killed since the start of the year: including Africa (9); Asia Pacific (12); Europe (2); Latin America (18); and the Middle East and Arab world (8). The Federation also recorded six work-related accidental deaths in Tanzania (5) and the United States (1).

IFJ President, Younes Mjahed said The death toll is the lowest since 2000, when 37 journalists and media staff were killed, but the causes of the loss of life during 2019 remain largely the same .


Since my country Nigeria was mentioned,I took out time to research more,over 19 journalists were harassed, assaulted, brutalised, arrested and detained in 2019, a reporter was killed in the country.Meaning that the Nigeria government is not doing enough to protect the lives of an average Nigeria Journalist.

The use of numbers(data) made the story of more interest.
