2025 matches record high for journalist deaths

In 2025, a record number of journalists and media workers were killed, matching the highest number ever recorded in 2024.

Most of these journalists were Palestinian, killed in the Israel-Gaza war.

Governments around the world are making it harder for journalists to do their jobs by banning them from certain areas or putting restrictions on what they can report.

This is a big problem because journalists help us understand what's happening in the world.

Without their work, it's harder to get accurate information.

Some journalists are still bravely reporting from dangerous places, but they face great risks, including death.

It's important to support their work so we can all stay informed.
