Reuters - Journalists who report on environmental issues face increasing violence around the world from both state and private actors, UNESCO said [in early May], highlighting that 44 of these journalists have been murdered between 2009 and 2023. More than 70% of the 905 journalists the agency surveyed in 129 countries said they had been attacked, threatened, or pressured, and that the violence against them had worsened — with 305 attacks reported in the last five years alone.

It takes courage and bravery to be a truth telling journalist as these statistics demonstrate. Perhaps that single factor colors modifying news reporting to avoid retribution!
