At least 65 journalists were killed around the world because of their work last year, the highest figure for 13 years, according to figures compiled by the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. Iraq was the deadliest country, with 32 deaths. It was followed by Somalia (seven), Pakistan and Sri Lanka (five each), and Afghanistan (two). On the positive side, the CPJ says that for the first time in years there were no work-related media deaths in the Philippines or Colombia. (Via Reuters)
