Fifty seven journalists killed in 2010

2010 marked another difficult year for the media with 57 journalists killed and a sharp rise in kidnapping of journalists.A new report by the Paris-based media watchdog, Reporters Without Borders, says, the number of journalists killed in 2010 actually declined by 25 per cent compared to 2009. But, the previous year was unusual because of a large number of journalists killed in the Philippines. Overall, says Reporters Without Borders Managing Editor, the trend is a grim one. According to the new report, Pakistan tops the list with 11 journalists killed. Iraq, Mexico, Somalia and the Philippines are also in the list of dangerous places for the reporters.
