IFJ publishes annual report on 128 media professionals killed in 2025 / IFJ

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has published its 35th annual report on journalists and media workers killed in relation to their work in 2025. The report documents the killing of 128 media professionals, including 11 women and nine accidental deaths. These figures confirm a worrying global truth: the murder of journalists has become an accepted tool of war, repression, and information control. The IFJ calls for the Member States of the United Nations to urgently adopt the IFJ-led International Convention on the Safety and Independence of Journalists to end the cycle of violence and impunity.
