This UN International Day to End Impunity For Crimes Against Journalists is a bleak one. Today 33 media workers are confirmed killed in the Israeli-Palestine conflict: 28 Palestinian, 4 Israeli and 1 Lebanese. The Association for Caribbean Media Workers (ACM) also notes with sadness that Latin American and the Caribbean remains one of the deadliest places to be a journalist. According to UNESCO’s Director General Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity, 69 journalists have been killed in the region in 10 countries from 2022-2023.
