Media group says 109 journalists killed in 2008 23 hours ago BRUSSELS (AP) — The International Federation of Journalists says at least 109 reporters and media workers were killed last year while on assignment. The press freedom group urges governments to "step up" efforts to stop the killing of journalists. The group says Iraq remains the most dangerous country to work in as a journalist, followed by Mexico and India. Aidan White, general secretary of the IFJ, says another 10 media workers were killed in January this year. He says many democratic countries are "showing callous indifference" to the threats posed by attacks on journalists. The IFJ presented its annual report on Wednesday. The group represents over 600,000 journalists in 123 countries. ------------------------------------ -- INFORMATION OVERLOAD? Get all ZESTMedia mails sent out in a span of 24 hours in a single mail.
