A total of 273 journalists around the world died in accidents, were murdered, or died from other causes on the job from 1982 through 1989, this study shows. Latin America proved most dangerous, with high numbers of deaths reported in Colombia and Peru. Covering drug-related crimes proved particular, hazardous to the health of reporters. But a large number of journalists (41) also died in the Philippines in the period. About 12% of the journalist died in accidents, but an estimated 69% died in an act of revenge, this study concludes. The study provides totals for other world regions.
