Journalists in Peril

Preliminary list of journalists who died in 2013

The following is a list of journalists who died covering the news. The list has been compiled by Newseum staffers from information circulated by the Committee to Protect Journalists, the International Press Institute, the International Freedom of Expression Clearing House, Reporters Sans Frontières, the International Federation of Journalists, the Inter American Press Association, news stories and other sources.

This is a working list. Preliminary research indicates these journalists may be eligible for inclusion on the Freedom Forum's Journalists Memorial. However, the question of why these journalists died has not been answered in all cases. Additional research and reporting will follow before final selections are made. Any information about the deaths of these and other journalists may be sent to Patty Rhule. Rhule can be reached at prhule@newseum.org.
