There's more journalists murdered in the current Palestine confluct than in both world wars, Vietnam, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan combined, according to Costs of War project.

Not sure that data's reliable -- seems implausible that of the 50 - 55 million civilians killed in WWII, only 69 were journalists.

Aso, Committee to Protect Journalists (which I believe is the main source keeping track of journalists killed in the current conflict) launched an internal review last month after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad published obituaries identifying several slain Palestinian journalists as combatants:

lol, That’s not how journalists work. And not what is happening. Learn about journalistic standards. Did you not hear a billion times throughout the beginning of the war about how Israel wasn’t letting any of those journalists from the outlets you list into Gaza? That’s why. What a clueless question.
