106 Journalists Killed Worldwide in 2010 
-----------------------------------------



The Swiss-based Press Emblem Campaign is reporting at least 106
journalists were killed overall in 2010. Fourteen journalists were
killed in both Mexico and Pakistan, 10 in Honduras. Eight journalists
were killed in Iraq, six in the Philippines, five in Russia, four in
Colombia, Brazil and Nigeria. The Press Emblem Campaign now considers
Latin America to be the most dangerous place for journalists due to the
high death tolls in Mexico and Honduras.
