2007 Deadliest Year For Journalists In A Decade
A media watchdog group said Monday that 64 journalists in 17 countries have died while covering the news in 2007 _ the deadliest year in more than a decade.
The Committee to Protect Journalists said in an annual report that Iraq led the list for the fifth year in a row, with 31 dead _ one fewer than a year ago. Somalia was second with seven dead in 2007, and Pakistan and Sri Lanka each recorded five deaths.
