In at least 787 cases, journalists have been directly targeted for murder, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. That number excludes journalists killed in combat and on other dangerous assignments. The group has found only 34 cases in which everyone has been convicted.Iraq and the Philippines have the highest numbers of journalists murdered.
