More journalists have been killed in Israel’s genocide in Gaza than in the past seven major U.S.-involved wars combined, marking the “worst ever conflict” for reporters in history, a new report says.

As of late March, at least 232 journalists have been killed in the Gaza genocide, with the vast majority being Palestinians, according to a new paper by the Costs of War project in Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. Nearly 380 journalists have been wounded in the violence as of January, per the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate.

So, not saying this isn't bad, but aren't there also way more journalists today than in those other conflicts? The question isn't loaded to protect Israel. I'm just curious if they weighted the numbers based on population size. When you target journalists you're bound to kill more.

Might be about journalists directly covering the conflict. Ordinary Palestinian journalists are not counted in the 232 count either.

The source of the study is

[78] Counts of the number of reporters slain vary. The Freedom Forum counts 67 reporters killed in World War II. Freedom Forum. (2023, June 22). Journalists Memorial. https://www.freedomforum.org/journalists- memorial.

The WW1 count should be in there somewhere too.
