International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists – 2 November
Truth has no master!
And yet… every year journalists, media workers, local agents, news reporters and many others are aggressed and even killed because of truth.
This is a shame and a transgression of international laws.
Tackling the aggression against them should become a top priority.
Explore JPJ’s database and let us honor them. Honor their memory and their work. May light shine in the darkness. May peace prevail!

Let us try to make the world better around us… little steps for us, but giant steps for humanity.Thank you for your encouragement!
Working as a journalist is very difficult. Apart from the verbal attacks that are accepted on a daily basis, there are still attacks and killings that exist in specific conflict zones. Journalism, especially in these areas, tends to be a dangerous extreme sport. But these journalists, in order to endanger their own lives, thirsted for the truth and defended it by every means. Congratulations on reminding you and honoring the names of the murdered journalists on your page.
Yes… they must be honoured indeed. So many jobs are risky, exposing to unforeseen dangers. And journalism is one of them. Thank you.
The topic you have chosen to discuss is one that I think needs utmost attention. The way you have presented it yourself is really awesome and I must say it is really interesting to read this post. I agree that the aggression against journalists should be stopped because a friend of mine decided not to do anything in journalism because of the obvious reasons you have stated here. Nice one!
Welcome. Journalism is a hard job, just like many others. It often exposes them to unforeseen events, with deadly lashes. Journalism has many niches like sport, or beauty. And some niches are more dangerous than others indeed. Perhaps your friend must consider a niche with less risks. Especially if he is a good writer… A good article is a joy for all. Our world needs good story tellers as well!Good day!
Thank you for bringing attention to this very important subject. I am always saddened when I hear stories of journalists who are harmed or even worse killed doing their jobs. I wish there were a way to protect them but unfortunately as we well know, there are people that do not want their secrets to be reported. Hopefully things like this can bring awareness to the cause and help journalists do their job safely.
Yes Travis, every aggression is one too much indeed and saddens us all. We need to reflect on that and make sure impunity ends. So many jobs are risky. Fireman, police officer, journalism,… the list is long. But journalism is indeed of a particular kind.Let us remember and honor those who defend truth .
This is an issue that should be taken serious by everyone in authority to protect these journalist from those who persecute them for doing their expected job. Such matters of importance should not be left unattended. Government and those who may be privileged to witness any act of cruelty to these journalist should do all within their power to protect them and laws should be made to see to these issues. Should such cruel act continue, then there wouldn’t be much value for the truth .
Yes, it is a very serious issue… and one wonders if some times silence does not impose to prevent worse and not expose others… And those who expose the truth indeed are the new martyrs…
