The Facts
Of the 99 journalists killed globally in 2023, 77 — including 72 Palestinians — died reporting on the Israel-Hamas war, according to a report published by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) on Thursday.
The 2023 total is reportedly the highest figure since 2015 and 44% more than the number of media personnel killed in 2022.

Nerd narrative
