Group: Record Killings of Journalists in 2009
---------------------------------------------



The Committee to Protect Journalists says 2009 was the deadliest year
for journalists on record. On Tuesday, the group said seventy-one
journalists were killed across the globe last year. Fifty-one of the
deaths were murders. Twenty-nine deaths came from the massacre of
Filipino journalists last November, the deadliest-ever incident for
journalists to date.
