Killings of Journalists Show the Bloody Fingerprints of Organized Crime
More than two dozen journalists worldwide have been killed by members of organized crime since the start of 2017, according to a report by Reporters Without Borders.
The last two years have been deadly for journalists, with 31 murdered around the world this year alone, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. But a report released this past week by Reporters Without Borders documented more than two dozen who had been killed by members of organized crime since the start of 2017, including fatal attacks in Mexico and Europe that underscored the entrenched power of criminal syndicates around the world.
