Some 94 journalists and media workers, including nine women, have been killed in the line of duty so far in 2023, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) reports.

This year's total has been heavily impacted by war with the conflict in Gaza being more deadly for journalists than any single conflict since the IFJ began recording the figures in 1990.
